Rocky Mountain Elk are tiny, except for their antlers. You should see the Roosevelts.
Wife is driving in ,
I am sitting in passenger seat.
We stop at a stop sign, i look and there is a sign, Estes Park Library.
A most beautiful statue in the front yard, a giant Elk.
I tell my wife, Wow, what a magnificent statue.
The Elk turned its massive head and rack toward me and blinked.
12 feet away from my side of our Subaru Outback.
Still, Chama New Mexico.
You can view Hundreds of elk at dusk.
Tule elk are tiny for elk but huge compared to deer. Roosevelt elk are bigger than Rocky Mountain elk but Rocky Mountain elk are hardly tiny. In proportion to their body size, Tule elk antlers are far larger than those other two elk species.
What a coincidence, I saw Roosevelt elk in the fry pan for breakfast today.
