ELK
Monograph Number Three in The Mentor Reading Course
The American elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis) is as large as a horse, handsomely formed, luxuriantly maned, carries its head proudly, and is crowned by a pair of very imposing antlers. The male elk is at its handsomest in October or November, when his skin is bright and immaculately clean and his fine antlers have just been renewed.
