Forest foragers are animals that search for food in forests. Two examples of forest foragers are elks and DEER. Elks, also known as wapiti, are large DEER-like mammals found in North America and parts of Eurasia. DEER are hoofed mammals that are found all over the world. Both elks and DEER are herbivores, meaning they feed on plants. They are both important members of the forest ecosystem, as they help to disperse seeds and keep vegetation in check.
