Abstract:
After a 200-year absence, elk were reintroduced into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2001. The herd has increased by six calves, three of which survived. A second herd of thirty was released in the spring of 2002, as part of a five-year study to see if the elk will be able to survive over the long term.
