roosevelt elk

Cervus canadensis roosevelti

Description:

Large deer like animal with shaggy neck mane. Big bulls weigh as much as a small horse and females about the size of a pony

Notes:

Elk leave the forest during stormy weather,probably because rain and wind in the forest make it hard to hear predators. This was our first spotting of the season
