HIDE AND SEEK

A 2017 research paper by Henrik Thurfjell from the University of Alberta found that over time, female Elks are getting better at hiding from hunters during hunting season.

The research suggests that learning the hunter’s behavioral patterns, aside from relying on natural selection, contributes to an Elk’s evasiveness over time.

By the time the Elks are ten years old, they have become masters of hide and seek.
