Wildlife at Yellowstone: ELK

This was our first Elk sighting.

By Sunday July 22, we had our fill of Bison and before heading out, I said to Terri, “This is our day to see a Melk- A male Elk.. We were 10 minutes into our drive when we saw a herd grazing near a creek. 

Then this Elk stopped traffic. Check out the mom and babies on top the hill watching their friend make it safely across the street.  Topped the evening off with sighting another herd:

And these are our favorites. This Guy was hanging out at Mammoth Hot Springs.

We saw this guy on a hike:Look at that rack! It’s in velvet. Come December he will loose it and grow another next year.Sunday July 22, 2018 ELK Day at Yellowstone!
