*** About Tule Elk: Tule elk are a subspecies of elk found only in California, making them a symbol of the state's wildlife. Once nearing extinction in the 19th century, conservation efforts have successfully revived their populations. These elk are smaller than other North American varieties and are characterized by their lighter coloration and distinctively less massive antlers. They primarily inhabit grasslands and marshlands, where they feed on a variety of grasses and herbs. Successful breeding and management programs have allowed Tule elk to roam across protected areas like the San Joaquin Valley and coastal regions of California, where they contribute to the biodiversity and ecological health of these areas.
