I like watching the knotheads walking up to the elk and moose here (usually just stay in my car). One of these things decide they don't like you, it'll be over before you realize it started. The buck (deer) were out and about a month ago where I mountain bike, and they just look at ya different than the rest of the year. I give them a wide berth if I do see them, and I usually change my ride times to avoid when they're active
I cannot believe how close these people get to the elk! Elk are dangerous and especially volatile during rut season; if you want to get hurt for the sake of a closeup picture, by all means go right ahead! I just hope no one gets gored.
The Elk (Cervus canadensis), also known as the wapiti is a large deer species native to North America and Eastern Asia, it is the largest of the six extant deer species constituting the genus Cervus and the second largest deer species alive today, with only the Moose (Alces alces) being larger, the closest living relative of the elk is the Hangul (Cervus hanglu) that resides in Central Asia, there are fifteen known subspecies of elk: the Tibetan Elk (Cervus canadensis wallichii), the Kansu Elk (Cervus canadensis kansuensis), the Sichuan Elk (Cervus canadensis macneilli), the Mongolian Elk (Cervus canadensis mongoliensis), the Alashan Elk (Cervus canadensis alashanicus), the Tian Shan Elk (Cervus canadensis songaricus), the Manchurian Elk (Cervus canadensis xanthopygus), the †Korean Elk (Cervus canadensis coreanus), the Siberian Elk (Cervus canadensis sibiricus), the Roosevelt Elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti), the Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni), the Tule Elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes), the †Merriam's Elk (Cervus canadensis merriami), the Manitoba Elk (Cervus canadensis manitobensis), and the †Algonquin Elk (Cervus canadensis canadensis).
Leave him alone!!! You put your town in his breeding and wintering grounds and now you are extremely cruel to him and his kind. I hate city folk for being so pushy& STUPID!
What a beautiful animal hope he stays safe wow
Unfortunately uninformed Coloradans voted for the introduction of wolves. They’re quickly moving toward the park. None of elk are safe anymore. 😢
