This exhibit is home to North American elk and a small population of wild turkey. It is smaller than North American elk ("Cervus canadensis canadensis") with smaller and stouter antlers. In 1990 the North American Elk Breeders Association (NAEBA) was founded. When alarmed, they often display a distinctive flared rump, much like the American elk. Wapiti Lodge was first chartered in 1949 and its totem was the American Elk.
