Once near extinction, conservation efforts have successfully increased their population. These elks are mainly located in the grasslands and marshlands of the state, thriving on a diet of grasses and plants. Every year, the Tule Elk plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, helping to maintain the balance of their habitats and serving as a key subject of environmental preservation and study.
