The number of male elks in a herd can vary widely depending on the species, location, and time of year. Typically, in a herd, there may be one dominant bull elk alongside several cows and calves, while younger males are often found in smaller bachelor groups or may be solitary. During mating season, known as the rut, more bulls may be present as they compete for mates. Overall, the ratio of males to females in a herd tends to be low, often around 1:5 or 1:10.
