The Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis) became the official State animal of Utah in 1971. Called, "wapiti," by the Shawnee Indians, elk are members of the deer family and associate closely with the deer and moose of Utah. Elk once inhabited most of the USA, but are now found only west of the Rocky Mountains.
