Hello. The elk or wapiti has the scientific name Cervus canadensis. Please add this to your spotting in the space reserved for scientific name since you have already labeled your spotting as an elk. This will then be automatically marked as "identified" in the Project Noah database. Thanks

Hi there. Please take a moment to update your spotting with the scientific name. That will officially enter it into the PN database. Thanks! :-)
