The elk or wapiti once ranged from Mexico to the Atlantic and from the St Lawrence to the Pacific. Today only scattered bands linger in the Rockies between Colorado and the Brazeau, with isolated herds in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

These grass eaters increasingly become forest dwellers, needing broad protection as drastic measures are required to prevent total extermination in Canada. Adapted from W. N. Millar's address in Conservation of Fish Birds and Game.
