Fauna of South Africa
The largest primate in the region, excluding humans, is the chacma baboon. A true generalist, it is found in virtually all habitats in South Africa. The other primates in the region are the vervet monkey and the Samango monkey. They are mainly frugivores, although they are true opportunists and may take eggs and nestlings from bird nests.
Mammals of Glacier National Park (U.S.)
The elk, or wapiti ("Cervus canadensis"), is one of the largest species of deer in the world and one of the largest mammals in North America and eastern Asia. In the deer family (Cervidae), only the moose, "Alces alces" (called an "elk" in Europe), is larger, and "Cervus unicolor" (the sambar deer) can rival the "C. canadensis" elk in size. Elk range in forest and forest-edge habitat, feeding on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark.
