Male elk, called bulls, typically grow large, branching antlers that can span up to four feet or more. These antlers are one of the fastest-growing tissues in the animal kingdom, capable of growing up to an inch per day during the peak of their growth. Elk use their antlers primarily for mating rituals and dominance displays during the rut (breeding season). Interestingly, each year, the antlers are shed and regrown, making it an annual cycle for these majestic creatures.
The Science and Conservation Center is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the development of humane wildlife contraceptives and methods of application. Our research supports the transition to safe, humane, and publicly acceptable wildlife management paradigms that are beginning to replace human-imposed lethal methods.
