Elk

Hi there. Since you know the identity of your organism, please go ahead and fill in the scientific name field. This allows the spotting to fully enter the database and become complete, letting groups and individuals use the data and find your spotting. It also takes the spotting off the "unidentified" list. Thank you!

Here's a great Project Noah blog entry that explains the spotting process:

These are Elk. The handout the Park Service gives you at the gate to Yellowstone Park will help you to correctly identify these and other large mammals in the park.
