(1,100 pounds) in weight; bulls from southern California average about 110 kg (240 pounds). Compared with other red deer, female elk are more similar to bulls in external appearance and body mass. During winter all elk have well-developed, dark neck manes that contrast sharply with their ...
In this study, we have compared the pathological profiles and PrPSc characteristics in brains of CWD-affected elk and deer with those in subjects with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), as well as CJD-affected subjects who might have been exposed to CWD, using histopathology, ...
Cattle diets contained lower CP and IVDMD (P < 0.10) compared to deer or elk diets and relative to elk, deer consistently selected forages which contained higher CP (P < 0.10). Our study suggested that early-summer grazing by cattle or elk at moderate utilization has little effect on the...
To evaluate the possible impacts of the prescribed fire on deer and elk populations use of unburned, scorched and heavily burned areas were compared using pellet group counts and winter browsing pressures. Thermal and hiding cover measurements were taken to quantify fire intensity effects on cover ...
Size:Elk weigh 230 to 450 kg (500 to 1,000 lb.) and stand 0.75-1.5 m (2.5-5 ft.) high at the shoulder. Their antlers usually measure 1 to 1.5 m across, tip to tip. Males weigh more than females, but the difference is less compared with other elk subspecies where the males may...
Fences provide the most consistent long term control compared to other deterrent methods, but are costly to erect. Traditional complete construction of game fences cost more than $9,000 per kilometer for materials. Costs of erecting deer proof fencing can be greatly reduced if an existing fence ...

However, ePrPC shows a striking local structure variation when compared with most other mammalian PrPs, in particular human, bovine, and mouse PrPC. A loop of residues 166–175, which links the β-sheet with the α2-helix and is part of a hypothetical "protein X" epitope, is outstanding...
Elk's meat, leather, and milk yields and their hunger rate are identical to that of theyak. However, compared to the yak, elk are wilder and cannot carry cargo, making them strictly inferior to yaks as tamable animals. If you don't need to caravan out, they are mostly identical if ...
