Elk are a large species of herbivore that appear in herds. They have a muffalo's tolerance to subzero temperatures so they are quite comfortable living in the cold boreal forest, tundra, and cold bog biomes.
Male and female elk can be distinguished by the presence or lack of antlers, respectively.
Production
Female elk can be milked once every 1 days, producing 11 milk.
Summary
Elk are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.
A female elk can be milked for up to 11 units of milk per day (depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield).
Analysis
Elk's meat, leather, and milk yields and their hunger rate are identical to that of the yak. However, compared to the yak, elk are wilder and cannot carry cargo, making them strictly inferior to yaks as tamable animals. If you don't need to caravan out, they are mostly identical if tamed.
Milking
Female elk produce 11 per day, or 0.55 nutrition in milk per day. A elk consumes 0.86 nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of 64% from milk alone (or 12.79 per day per 1 nutrition consumed). They are better for milk than dromedaries or caribou.
Training
This animal can be trained as follows:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
