Why Do Elk Eat Bark?

The Most Battled and Dominant Elk Bull in the Off Season.

Green-like bark from the pigment of green chlorophyll is a source of nourishment for elk, especially in the winter when other green plants have lost their greenery and nourishment. Here, the Most Battled and Dominant Elk Bull(the Sheriff) is seen eating green bark in the off Season when other greens are not available. This Amazing Bull is all of the Largest, Most Dominant, and Oldest Elk Bull in this large wild area. It is always a great day when we come across the "Sheriff!"
