Elks are unique creatures. This one elk enjoyed strolling through the wide green fields. Smelling the innocent yet dangerous smell of the woods. Elks have large horns on their heads, larger than their heads. This was unique because the elk had rather large horns than any other elk. These creatures have wide humps on their back. Elks also have little round stubby tails, much like a bunny. This animal is known to be fast creature. Now for the eyes, the creature’s eyes are similar to a black beady button or even marbles. But what does a creature like an elk feed off of? Elks have many different appetites. Such as grass, plants, leaves and bark. Elks are smart animals which mean their actions speak quickly. Elks have been alive for many years.
Black Elk explains the Lakota ideology and what it means to be native. Black Elk falls very ill. While ill, Black Elk has a vision known as “The Great Vision”(Neihardt 17 footnote 1). The Wasichus, a name for white people, start building the iron road, and the start of treaties being made. “Wherever we went the soldiers came to kill us”(Neihardt pg 105), this quote was spoken by Black Elk at the beginning of destruction of the Lakota Nation. Black Elk and his tribe leave for Grandmother’s land (Canada). While in Canada, the Lakota perform the Horse Dance. Cuts-to-pieces’ son was the first human to be healed by Black Elk, and after this miraculous deed happens his tribe performs the Heyoka ceremony. After the Heyoka ceremony, Black Elk performs the final part of his Great Vision. Black Elk travels over the big water and when Black Elk recovers from being sick, he then returns home to find his people dying from starvation and sickness. The messiah is introduced, and rumors are spreading that this man promises a new “better” world is coming, where all their loved-ones are alive and buffalo still roam. Historically known as the Massacre of Wounded Knee, Wasichus came into the native camp, at this time there were so few native tribes left that multiple tribes banded together and slaughter men women and children. This is when the Lakota Nation has one final battle against the U.S. Army. “Brothers, this is a very hard winter. The women and children are starving and
At day-break, we spotted 3 nice 5x5’s and one really nice 6x6 about two miles away surrounded by a bunch of cow elk. They were about 2 miles away, across a very rugged canyon. Perfect for my first bull elk hunt I thought.
At the beginning of Black Elk Speaks, Black Elk and John Neihardt smoke the peace pipe then Black Elk begins his story. When Black Elk was still pretty young he and his tribe were involved in the Hundred slain war, and Black Elk also begins to hear strange voices. Later on Black Elk falls very ill, then two warriors come from the sky and bring Black Elk to the Flaming rainbow tepee, while he was there his six grandfathers gave him six very special gifts. After Black Elk got the gifts he was taught the horse dance, when Black Elk returned from his vision he went to see his cousin Crazy horse, later on Crazy Horse would be murdered by being stabbed in the back by a soldier. By this time most of the indians were forced to live on the reservations but one band of Lakotas escaped from the reservation and traveled north to Canada where Sitting Bull’s band was. The winters in Canada were too harsh for the Sioux so they reluctantly moved back to the reservation where they were given hardly anything. With Black Elk’s people losing hope he teaches them the dances he learned in his visions. When Black Elk learns of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show he decides to go with him, after a few months doing shows in America Black Elk went to England. When the Lakotas were camped on Wounded Knee Creek, the wasichus came and murdered everyone in the camp including the women and children. After the battle the remaining Lakota surrendered they went to the reservation and the flowering tree dies. The
They do this to adapt to the colour of the current season they are in. This can benefit in many ways such as camouflage or hide from predators. The White-tails deer is an important part of the environment as it is a good food source for bobcats, panthers, and coyotes. Another extremely important role in the environment they play is eating invasive plant species since they are herbivores. If the White-tail deer was to be taken out of the ecosystem, a lot of these plants would invade or
Columbian White-tailed deer are distinguishable because they have a long black tail on the outside, and the male's antlers point all rise from the one main beam. The Columbian white-tail is one of the large subspecies with "antlers narrowly spreading and curving steeply upward” Columbian white-tailed deer's diets consist of young willow, cottonwood, alder and other deciduous trees in riverbanks and the surrounding area. This is where they can usually be found. Male Columbian white-tailed deer are bigger than females, they have large antlers and they shed them every winter and regrow them in spring. Both sexes have a white underneath their tail which is why they got the name.
White-tailed deer are large primary consumers or herbivores that feed on plants (primary producers). Their diet consists mainly of grasses, herbaceous plants, and fruits. Their diet changes according to the habitat and season. For instance, they feed on green plants such as grasses, forbs, crops, leaves, twigs, and buds during the summer and spring season (Curtis and Sullivan 2001). In the fall, they concentrate on nuts, acorns, and corns. They eat twigs and buds during the winter season.
With the hopes that it wouldn't snow, I traveled to Silverton Colorado with my dad in October. My dad and I had six elk tags for the very first rifle season. We pulled our camp trailer down to a nice wooded area about five miles before you get into town. The camp sight was about a quarter mile off of the highway. There were trees all around the camping spot; the only break in the trees was where the road came through.
Elk are large ruminants having four-chambered stomachs. They are primarily grazers, but also browse. Their diets vary depending on the season with native grasses being a year-round supplement, tree bark being consumed in winter and forbs, leaves and tree sprouts during the summer.
White tailed deer have a very strong sense of smell. Their smell is one of the most important senses that guides them through their life. They rely
To begin with, you have to know what a elkbunnyosaurs is. It is a combination of an elk, a bunny, and a t-rex. Let’s start off with the bunny. The elkbunnyosaur’s body is a bunny including the head and only the back feet of the bunny. It still has it’s ears, nose and mouth. To move on to that, the elkbunnyosaurs has characteristics from the t-rex. For the front arms it has the little t-rex arms and the three fingers.
Even though whitetail deer can grow to large sizes they don't even eat meet to do it. Deer are strictly herbivores that don't even chew. A deer’s stomach consists of four chambers. Because of this, they can eat some poisonous mushrooms that are lethal to humans. However, deer mainly eat legumes, shoots, and members of the grass family. Deer use
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have historical significance throughout the state of Ohio. Ohio’s ancient civilizations relied heavily on white-tailed deer for food, tools, and clothing. Deer were attracted to the region because of the agricultural practices of Native Americans such as growing corn and the prevalence of hard mast . The population of white-tailed deer was healthy prior to European settlement, as predators such as the North American cougar (Puma concolor), eastern timber wolf (Canis lupus lycaon), and native americans kept the population under control. There are an estimated 500,000 white-tailed deer in Ohio, the species can be found in all 88 counties. Populations today are managed by a regulated hunting season. (Hulbert 1910) The objective of the study is to determine the age, sex, and distinguishing characteristics of white-tailed deer that are in both areas

The animals which were identified as a nuisance to agricultural crops were deer, raccoons and groundhogs (MacGowan et al., n.d). In some states, feral hogs would be added to that list, as well as coyotes (only in areas that grow melons). As noted by Sramek, (n.d.) “Coyotes are known for their particular fondness of watermelons and cantaloupes and will readily seek them as a food source” (Coyote diets, para. 3). We limited the project to whitetail deer, due to a readily available test field located in an area populated by whitetail deer; and whitetail deer are ranked as one of the leading animals causing crop damage (Belant, Seamans, & Tyson, 1998, January). Additionally, whitetails have shown the ability to habituate very quickly to many techniques used to scare them off (Hildreth, Hygnstrom, & Vercauteren, 2013). Given that whitetail deer are skittish
The online article, “Import of Deer, Elk Parts in SC Still Limited by State Regulation,” focuses on the issue of Chronic Wasting Disease in deer and elk in the United States but mostly in South Carolina. It discusses the impact the disease has on deer and elk populations and the problems wildlife professionals face in detecting and understanding the disease. In relation to this main idea, it details how the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is taking precautions against the disease’s threat through several regulations in order to protect their vital white-tailed deer population.
