Cervus elaphus nelsoni Rocky Mountain Elk Felsengebirgshirsch Wapiti is a First Nations word meaning white or pale deer. Bull elks are polygamous and during the mating season acquire harems of up to 60 cows. The bugle, or whistle, of rutting bulls is both a challenge to other bulls as well as a call of domination to cows. Six-point bull elk. Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada |
