What animals kill Elk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Old age, disease, and man. Sometimes lions will take down a defenseless baby elephant that gets separated from its mother. That's a rather foolish undertaking, though, because elephants have been known to hunt the lions down and destroy them later.
