The elk that can be found in Bear Valley Springs, Stallion Springs and in a slowly increasing wide area are a source of enjoyment and amazement for Tehachapi residents as well as visitors. Mostly the sightings are of bull elk, but the cows are, of course, key to the health and continuation of the herd.
The elk are a subspecies known as either Rocky Mountain Elk or American Elk
(Cervus canadensis nelsoni). At the time that Europeans arrived on the North American continent, elk were very widespread. These enormous deer were important to scores of Native tribes, and there were an estimated 10 million elk living in North America.
