Elk
In a sprawling grassland enclosure, a herd of wapiti, or elk, roams freely. The leader of the herd, a magnificent bull named Thunder, commands attention with his impressive antlers. Thunder’s story began when he was born in the zoo as part of a conservation program to preserve the species’ genetic diversity. During autumn, visitors are treated to the haunting bugle calls of the elk, a sound that echoes through the enclosure. The zoo staff works diligently to mimic their natural grazing patterns, ensuring a balanced diet and a harmonious herd dynamic.
