Yes, "elk" is both singular and plural. "Elk" actually refers to two different animals depending on whether you speak American English or British English. In American English "elk" refers to Cervus canadensis (also know as "wapiti"), but in British English "elk" refers to Alces alces ("moose" to Americans).

A lot of our current grammar comes from Old English grammar. In Old English, many nouns were both singular and plural. And, (surprise, surprise), deer, sheep, elk, and moose are all Old English words! Over time, we have chosen NOT to morph the plural forms, so they have stayed the same as they were in Old English! Fish is sort of another one, even though the optional plural is fishes.
