Took this picture in Estes Park, Colorado. The elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis) is one of the largest species of the Cervidae or deer family in the world, and one of the largest land mammals in North America and eastern Asia. It was long believed to be a subspecies of the European red deer (Cervus elaphus), but evidence from a number of mitochondrial DNA genetic studies beginning in 1998 indicate that the two are distinct species. Key morphological differences that distinguish C. canadensis from C. elaphus are the former's wider rump patch and paler-hued antlers. Some cultures revere the elk as a spiritual force. In parts of Asia, antlers and their velvet are used in traditional medicines. Elk are hunted as a game species; the meat is leaner and higher in protein than beef or chicken.

Hello! My name is Becca. I really enjoy designing graphics using Photoshop and Blender 3D and a few other programs that help me achieve my end project. I also do photography, I love playing with the contrasts and dynamics that mother nature has to offer. I also took up painting this year (2021) and I am having a blast! :) I came to Fine Art America in hopes to get my art out there and gain a wider audience. It's something I hold near and dear to my heart and I want to share it with as many people as I can :) Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/its_a_macro_thing/ Follow me on twitter - https://twitter.com/BeccaB323 My portrait website - http://www.skyisthelimitimages.net
