The blue colored area represents a well-populated area of elk. The aqua area represents a repopulated area. = = =Habitat=
 * Note: The peach colored area in the map represents a heavy population of elk.

During the summer elk reside in the higher, more mountainous areas of a region. When the fall mating season begins, elk move to lower, valley regions. During the winter then tend to herd up and reside in forested areas where there is less snow. After their babies are born, they move back to the hilly, higher elevations.
