Elk were once found in the East, from Georgia north to New York and Connecticut. By the time of the Civil War, hunting and habitat destruction had caused their extinction in most eastern states. All of the eastern subspecies are now extinct. Elk County, Pennsylvania, was without elk for more than a century.
At the beginning of the 20th century, herds of elk in the Rocky Mountains faced death by starvation as encroaching farms depleted their winter feeding grounds, and finally the government decided to intercede. The elk were gathered up from Yellowstone National Park and 50 of them were shipped to Pennsylvania.
At that early date, 1913, there was little understanding of the kind of acclimatization required when moving large animals from one habitat to another. The elk were released from cattle cars and chased into the wild to fend for themselves. Two years later, 95 more elk were moved from Yellowstone to Pennsylvania.
The elk tended to move toward farming areas because that was where the food was. Although they were protected, their destruction of farmland caused farmers to poach them illegally. In a 1971 survey, researchers found about 65 animals. Intensive work by the Bureau of Forestry to improve elk habitat, especially through reclamation of old strip mines, brought those numbers up to 135 by the early 1980s. By the year 2000, there were more than 500 elk in Pennsylvania, including many in Elk County.
In 1984, hunters established the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, whose mission is to reintroduce elk in the states where they once roamed. At present, new herds are established in Arkansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wisconsin, in addition to Pennsylvania. There is talk of moving herds to Tennessee and to the Adirondack range in New York. It seems fairly clear that improving habitat for elk reintroduction improves conditions for other wildlife—wild turkey, whitetail deer, and black bear, among others.
Unlike in the 1910s, today reintroduction is vastly improved—far more closely monitored and controlled. Animals are checked for disease. Land trusts are used to preserve habitat and to keep the elk from moving too close to cropland.

Explanation
2. Based on information in the passage, about how many elk were moved from Yellowstone to Pennsylvania in the mid-1910s?
Explanation
The passage mentions that in 1913, 50 elk were shipped from Yellowstone National Park to Pennsylvania. Two years later, an additional 95 elk were moved from Yellowstone to Pennsylvania. Therefore, the total number of elk moved from Yellowstone to Pennsylvania in the mid-1910s is the sum of these two figures: 50 + 95 = 145.
Answer: D
