Red Stag is a type of deer that is native to North America. It is also known as the American elk or wapiti. The name “Red Stag” comes from the reddish-brown color of the deer’s coat during the summer months.<\/p>\n
Red Stags are one of the largest deer species in the world. They can weigh up to 700 pounds and stand up to 5 feet tall at the shoulder. Their antlers can grow up to 4 feet long and weigh up to 40 pounds.<\/p>\n
Red Stags are known for their impressive antlers, which are shed and regrown annually. The antlers are used for defense, as well as for attracting mates during the breeding season. Red Stags are also known for their distinctive bugle call, which they use to communicate with other deer.<\/p>\n
Red Stags are primarily found in the western United States, Canada, and Mexico. They prefer forested areas and can be found in both mountainous and lowland regions. Red Stags are herbivores and feed on a variety of plants, including grasses, shrubs, and trees.<\/p>\n
