cervids
Deer and relatives
Cervids are members of the deer family—hoofed mammals characterized by antlers that are typically shed and regrown annually.
The group includes deer, elk, moose, caribou, and reindeer.
Males of most species grow antlers; caribou are unusual in that females also bear them.
The park's cervid population has rebounded since wolves were reintroduced.
