crSLNWR - Tule Elk (2), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

The Tule Elk is found only in California and is the smallest of elk subspecies. This guy was at the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge in Los Banos, CA. They also can be found at the Tule Elk State Natural Reserve near Buttonwillow, CA. Their larger cousins, the Roosevelt elk, can be found further north in California around Redwood National and State Parks.
