Abstract:

The National Park Service has reintroduced elk to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In June 2001, a 40- pound elk was born, the first-elk born in the Smokies in 150 years. Whether or not the elk will be able to reproduce is one question the five-year Smokies elk experiment should answer.
