Wapiti Near Bridge Bay

            A bull Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) walks along the beach near the outlet of Bridge Bay on the west shore of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Early European settlers in North America called this animal  an "elk" which is a word usually used in Europe for a moose. This causes some cofusion among some European visitors. The other name used for elk is wapiti which is a Shawnee  word which means "white rumped deer" or "white deer".  There are 3 subspecies of  elaphus recognized currently in the United States. The Rocky Mountain Elk have the largest population and the widest distribution. To make things even more confusing, i>Cervus elaphus  has also been called  Cervus canadensis and that name is still in use by some.
