-- AMERICAN ELK :- 

One of the animals that I have chosen for the first paragraph is the American Elk. I will talk about this animal and the eating habits of the animal. This animal is a secondary consumer so that mean that it eats producers. The elk eats varieties of greens, dried grass, forbs, sand and bark. It eats grasses such as native bluegrasses, rough fescue, Idaho fescue, prairie junegrass, needlegrasses, bluebunch and the primary foods in the summer and spring are slender and thickspike wheatgrasses along with sedges and early forbs. In the summer more forbs and woody browse are consumed by the elk and more dry grasses and browse are consumed in autumn. They do eat a lot but they do prefer grass. Although in the winter the American Elk eats woody vegetation and shrubs like serviceberry, willow, buds of red osier dogwood, antelope bitterbrush, snowberry, mountain mahogany, winterfat, aspen shoots, western juniper and sagebrush. This animals really take advantage of everything they find. However it seems that they eat a mixture of grasses, forbs and shrubs in the winter to make sure that they get the proper intake of nitrogen.
