Found at least 40 of these beauties just down the road from our home. They'd picked a beautiful field to stop and rest during a rainfall. I was a good distance away but wanted to show you how beautiful-and huge-they were.
"The Roosevelt Elk, named for Theodore Roosevelt, is the largest of the four remaining North American elk subspecies. Males (bulls) average 875 pounds, but bulls weighing nearly 1300 pounds have been found in Alaska. Females (cows) average 700 pounds. These elk also have the largest antlers of all elk species, reaching lengths of up to four feet with a distinctive thee-point tip, or crown and the end."
