A Canadian Elk

And this is the same elk of the previous photo, after I zoomed in.

Some explanation: this animal is called 'an elk' or 'a wapiti' in Canada, and it is a kind of deer (Cervus canadensis). The animal that is called 'an elk' in British English is taller and has a different type of antlers. That animal is called 'a moose' in Canadian English.

The elk in my photo is a bull as can easily be seen from its massive antlers!
