Elk eat charcoal primarily to obtain essential minerals and nutrients that may be lacking in their natural diet. Charcoal can help in detoxifying their digestive systems, as it binds to toxins and aids in gut health. Additionally, the consumption of charcoal may help alleviate digestive issues and support overall health in these animals. This behavior is often observed in areas where wildfires have occurred, leaving charcoal readily available.
