The elk is a national first-class protected animal. Because its head and face are long and narrow like a horse, its horns are like a deer but slightly different from other deer, its hooves are broad like a cow, and its tail is long and thin like a donkey, it is also called the "four-unlike animal". In "Investiture of the Gods", Jiang Ziya's mount is a elk.

Although elk were once widely distributed north and south of the Yangtze River in eastern and central China, the main distribution center is still in the coastal areas of the Yangtze River Delta. They love warm and humid swamp waters, and even like to come into contact with sea water and eat seaweed. Take your children to see the baby elks on weekends or holidays, and get close to the elks. You can even buy carrots from the scenic area to feed the elks. The children will definitely be very happy.
