 | | The Absarokas are home to over 20,000 Rocky Mountain elk, over 4,500 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, and numerous other wildlife species including pronghorn antelope, mule deer, white-tailed deer, Shiras moose, fl and grizzly bears, mountain lions, gray wolves, coyotes, cutthroat trout, owls, eagles, hawks, blue grouse, and marmots. |
 | | The land status patchwork on the edges of the Absaroka Range is the buffer areas for elk and other wildlife of the Absaroka Range and the millions of contiguous acres beyond. |
 | | The Absaroka Conservation Initiative is a collaborative effort by various individuals and groups to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, and their habitat, and to maintain traditional open space land uses. |
