How many Tule Elk in California?

As of recent estimates, California is home to approximately 6,000 Tule elk. These elk are primarily found in several protected areas, including the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Tule Elk Reserve in the San Joaquin Valley. Conservation efforts have helped their population recover from near extinction in the late 19th century. However, their numbers can fluctuate due to environmental factors and management practices.
