Pr\u00e9sent depuis la Pr\u00e9histoire<\/strong> dans les for\u00eats bor\u00e9ales d\u2019Europe et d\u2019Am\u00e9rique du Nord, il partageait autrefois son habitat avec le m\u00e9gac\u00e9ros<\/strong>, un cervid\u00e9 encore plus grand aujourd\u2019hui disparu depuis environ 11 000 ans<\/strong>, \u00e0 la fin de la derni\u00e8re glaciation.<\/p>\nCaract\u00e9ristiques, mode de vie et habitat<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Le m\u00e2le<\/strong> se distingue par ses bois impressionnants<\/strong>, pouvant atteindre jusqu\u2019\u00e0 2 m\u00e8tres d\u2019envergure<\/strong>.<\/p>\nRorek<\/strong><\/h3>\n
On le reconna\u00eet facilement \u00e0 ses bois naissants<\/strong> et \u00e0 sa \u00ab cloche \u00bb<\/strong>, cette petite poche de poils sous la gorge, typique des m\u00e2les.
Venez le rencontrer au zoo et suivre son \u00e9volution au fil des saisons<\/strong>.<\/p>\nPourquoi l\u2019\u00e9lan est-il menac\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Dans son milieu naturel, l\u2019\u00e9lan est principalement menac\u00e9 par la chasse<\/strong>. Bien qu\u2019il puisse \u00eatre la proie du loup<\/strong> ou de l\u2019ours<\/strong>, son plus grand pr\u00e9dateur reste l\u2019Homme<\/strong>.
Sa taille imposante<\/strong> en fait une cible pris\u00e9e pour la chasse sportive<\/strong>, et la r\u00e9duction progressive de son aire de r\u00e9partition<\/strong> accentue cette pression.
Autrefois, l\u2019\u00e9lan vivait aussi en France<\/strong>, avant de dispara\u00eetre du territoire au Moyen \u00c2ge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
