As members of the deer family, the elk (Cervus elaphus) is a species that is distributed along the Rocky Mountains from Arizona up to Alaska and northern Canada, and in coastal rainforests of Oregon and Washington state, as well as parts of north central California.
How Elk Were Named
It is very easy to get confused when learning how the elk got its name. When the English colonists came to the New World and saw Cervus elaphus, they called the animal “elk” because it resembled the “elk” in their native lands. In reality, the elk they knew in Europe was really the animal that North Americans call “moose.” As a side note, elk fall second to the moose—which is the largest—when ranked by size alongside other members of the deer family.
Elk are also called “red deer” and “wapiti,” which in Native American language means “white rump,” although the original Shawnee word is spelled waapiti. The Natives gave the animal this name because of the distinctive whitish-yellow, or tan, patch that the elk has on its rear end, in contrast to its reddish-brown coat.
