Elk tusk For Sale
Elk are considered old world deer whose ancestors have been found on European and Asian Continents. They are thought to have migrated across the Bering Strait land bridge 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Many scientists believe that the elk’s ivory teeth are the remnants of tusks from the elk’s prehistoric ancestors and that they used to be 6-8” long.Elk tusk For Sale
Elk are one of the few creatures that possess both antlers and canine teeth, also called “ivories”, “buglers” and “whistlers”. These teeth are located on the upper jaw near the front of the mouth. Elk are the only North American animal, aside from the walrus, that have ivory canines.
Elk easily adapt to a wide range of temperatures by growing two entirely different coats. The summer coat is a thin, sleek layer of short hair that is the color of copper. It is entirely replaced by the light brown and tan winter coat, which consists of two layers – thick, long guard hairs and a dense, wooly undercoat.Elk tusk For Sale
During the winter, elk feed on open sunny slopes and bed down in the trees at night to seek shelter from wind and cold temperatures.
During the summer, elk bed down in cool, shady forests during the day and wade or lie in streams, rivers, ponds and lakes to seek relief from heat and biting insects.
Elk and other members of the deer family belong to a group of animals called ungulates, the Latin word for “hoof.” All ungulates have hooves. There are two distinct orders of “ungulates”. The number of toes is the most obvious difference between the orders. Artiodactyls (elk, deer, bison, pronghorn, peccary) have an even number of toes and the males grow and shed their antlers each year. Perissodactyls (horses, elephants) have an odd number of toes. Ungulates are herbivores — they eat only plants. Their diet may include grasses, forbs (low-growing, short-stemmed plants), shrubs and trees (including limbs and bark).Elk tusk For Sale
Elk are also called wapiti, a Native American word that means “light-colored deer.”
When an elk receives a signal of danger, it raises its head high and opens its eyes widely. It rotates the ears and tries to capture the sound.
Elk meat, or venison, has fewer calories, less fat, and less cholesterol than beef, chicken, lamb, turkey and most fish. Elk meat is also very high in protein and is more richly flavored than beef. It is also rich in minerals particularly iron and phosphorus, which accounts for its rich dark coloring.
Elk are raised using no growth hormones or chemicals.
Elk are predominantly grazers and eat most upland grasses (e.g. broom) and legumes (e.g. alfalfa). They will also consume grains (e.g. corn, oats). Elk can consume up to 20{98880d97af0555a3a517c8aae666eeb64e7bd6d49cbbe05617dcb138f6e48200} of their diet in browse.
Elk are efficient converters of food. Three cow elks’ feed intake is the same as that of one beef cow.
“Velvet antler” does not refer to the velvety “skin” on growing antlers but rather the whole cartilaginous antler in a pre-calcified stage.
Typically the antler is cut off near the base after it is about two-thirds of its potential full size, and before any significant calcification occurs. The antler is dried and is used in capsule form (in the U.S.) for a wide variety of health remedy and health maintenance purposes.
Velvet antler is effective as an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immune stimulant, and pro-grown agent. Antlers are said to be the fastest growing membrane known, and it is this rapidly growing tissue that contains the micronutrients needed to improve some human health deficiencies.
The cutting of the velvet antlers does not harm the animal and antlers are regown the next year.
Bulls produce velvet every year. An average 2-year old will grow approximately 9 pound of velvet. Generally, bulls increase velvet yields every year until maturity. Mature bulls (7 to 8 years old) may produce 30-40 pounds of velvet. read
