Heard at one time there were some in New Zealand. Doubt its true or maybe they would have tried to reintroduce them.My theory is that Eastern Elk were not as large as Rocky Mountain Elk, because of the lack of food in old growth forest.
I've read that the last one was killed in Pennsylvania in 1877.
Does anyone have insight on the Eastern Elk?
(and Rocky Mountain Elk have been the best N.A. game mammal that I have ever eaten, but I haven't eaten moose or caribou)
