If you recall from the original Ravnica, you'll remember that there's literally no animal life left on the plane. Everything that isn't someone's pet, entertainment, or lunch, has to be a gigantic monstrosity to have survived the slow overpopulation of the planet, like the wurms, the dragons, or hopefully the Lamasu. the hunted cycle of the original Ravnica showcases this nature-dying-out theme well. For an Elk, of all things, to be alive in Ravnica today it had better be some kind of monstrosity to survive.
Also, I do believe it's on the opposite side of the bridge in Azorius Arrestor. Or it might just be Ravnican style guide, who knows.

I've done some research on the subject of elk versus bear duels and there seems to be a consensus that bears have more raw power, but elks have a tad bit more stamina. Meaning that if your standard bear is a 2/2, your elk ought to be a 2/3 (but perhaps with Defender as they won't generally initiate the fight). Nothing I've read, however, has led me to believe that an elk could ever be a 6/7. Except for in Ravnica, of course.

I'm no wildlife expert, but I'm pretty sure an Elk can't take on three bears and walk away with the blood of each on its hooves. Especially bears that punch down trees.

Don't even pay attention to the fact that it's a vanilla creature. All you need to know is that this ELK can smash a TITAN in the face.

Ehh it's pretty small for a 6/7. I mean come on those trees are twice its size. As are the surrounding structures.

See, this is Wizards secretly calling Innistrad fans out as pansy Twilight lovers. They make all these vampires and werewolves out to be terrifying and powerful creatures which humanity fears, and everyone's hiding in churches as a result.
Meanwhile, in Ravnica, people go about their daily business perfectly happily amongst giant titanic Elks that can easily stomp every vampire and werewolf in Innistrad to death. Pff.

I guess it is supposed to be the "Craw Wurm" for the set, but it is still rather bad. Flat out worse than Enormous Baloth, which isn't exactly a high-water mark in card power or design. Clunky, overpriced, insane in flavor (elks that can kill dragons?!) - yeah, not worth it.

Vorstclaw is better, but a 6/7 vanilla beater is acceptable in limited. And it steps on titans too. That's got to count for something.

Blast of Genius'd a guy with this for the game tonight. To make things even better, when I declared him as target before discarding, he said, "Oh Dear."
