elk migrate into areas of higher altitude in the spring, following the retreating snows, and the opposite direction in the fall. Hunting pressure also impacts migration and movements. During the winter, they favor wooded areas and sheltered valleys for protection from the wind and availability of tree bark to eat. Roosevelt elk are generally non-migratory due to less seasonal variability of food sources.
Wolves, foxes, lynxes, and grizzly bears. Migrating Herds are oftenattacked by packs of wolves as the heard under attack scatters they will pick out the the oldest, weakest the youngest or pregnant animals. young calves may be attacked by eagles and Mosquitoes are also a serous problem for caribou.

Why is the philippine deer endangered?
The Philippine deer (Rusa marianna) is threatened by multiple factors, including loss of habitat, hunting, and the removal of animals for commercial purposes, such as the establishment of deer farms. Each of these factors is complex and has several causative agencies.
R. marianna's habitat is being reduced and destroyed by a combination of human encroachment (both by urban/commercial and agricultural development), mining, and illegal logging. It is also hunted intensively for its meat and hide, for sport, and for trophies, as well as for trade in all of these products. Laws protecting the species have not been consistently enforced.
Additionally, deer farms have been established, to which wild deer are removed for breeding and trade. This not only reduces the wild population of the species, but poses more insidious threats. Typically, other species of deer are kept along with R. marianna. This can introduce new microorganisms and parasites to the population, to which the resistance is low. In conditions of confinement, the spread of any infectious disease or parasite is facilitated. Finally, as the deer may not be separated by species and subspecies, the population can be threatened through hybridization with other kinds of deer.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) maintains a database, called the Red List of Threatened Species, which contains information on the threat level, conservation status, and the specific threats assessed to many species of animals and plants. R. marianna is currently listed as Vulnerable, meaning that it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild.
