Wapiti

Originally a Shawnee and Cree word, meaning "white rump", Wapiti is an appropriate alternate name for Elk. At Whistler Campground in Jasper, AB the Wapiti make use of the busy campground for protection from predators like grizzlies and for the bounty of grass available to eat in relative peace, so long as the visitors keep their distance (please keep your distance).
