The North American elk, or wapiti, is the largest form of the red deer species Cervus elaphus. In general appearance elk are obviously kin to the well-known white-tailed deer. However, elk are much larger. An adult bull elk stands about 150 cm tall at the shoulder and weighs about 300 to 350 kg, although some large bulls approach 500 kg in late summer before the rut, or breeding season. Cows are substantially smaller but still have a shoulder height of 135 cm and an adult weight of around 250 kg.
North American Elk (Cervus canadensis) or "Wapiti" bull pursuing a number of cows and calves in the pine woods in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. He spent a lot of time pursuing and herding these cows to keep them in a tight group.

After many visits to Elk Island National Park, I finally caught an Elk. This was taken shortly after sun-up. It was just below freezing and that is frost on the Elk.

Made a quick dash out to Point Reyes yesterday morning. I photographed this bull from my car and had a few seconds to get this close shot.

Sorry I haven't been around. The hard drive on my computer went bad and I've had it in getting replaced. Boy that is not a cheap situation to get stuck with. I'm back but lost alot of my photos. Rocket is still under the weather from being neutered. I would have "never" had that done to my poor Rocket if I'd know what he was in for. Was very, very hard on him!!! It's been 3 or 4 weeks now and he's still messed up....and I'm up half the night, every night with him. I'm not going back to this vet clinic....I'm so tired of all the problems that don't get dealt with!!! Rocket is so different....not the same dog.
Aren't the tuffs of light colored fur so striking on these animals...I love that detail on them!!!! :)
North American Elk (Cervus canadensis) with an attitude towards photographers taking its picture. It was interesting watching different behaviour by this bull and several others in a small group one afternoon last fall in Jasper National park, Alberta, Canada.

A Rocky Mountain elk in the Wichita Mountains of SW Oklahoma. The elk were moving early this morning. Saw many we couldn't photo and a few we did. The Wichitas are such a treasure! Our beautiful world being passed on.
This bull elk was pawing, snorting and warning an incoming bull that he wasn't into sharing his harum. He was bigger and better equipped. The other bull wisely took notice and tried his luck elsewhere.
Nature is so entertaining huh?
Thanks for taking a look and for any comments, faves or suggestions. Always appreciated.
The bulls get most of the attention during the elk rut, but I enjoy watching and photographing the cows and calves too. The calves seem mostly unfazed by all the craziness around them, only scurrying away from any danger when a bull gets too close.
This youngster calmly contemplates its next nibble of willows.
I may take another day away from Flickr tomorrow for a day trip to our local National Wildlife Refuge. Reports of many swans and eagles are to tempting to ignore.
The pride of this prairie!
- this is the bull elk I played with its silhouette on Slider Sunday.
They are reserved animals and he moved on quickly after he spotted me.
Taken at Neal Smith Nature Refuge, Iowa.
Bull elk bugling in Grand Teton National Park. It is usually more difficult to find Elk in GTNP then Yellowstone but this evening we had a wonderful luck finding them.
Ran up on five bull elk bedded down in the lushest mixed grass prairie vegetation I've ever seen in the Wichitas. First saw one and then four more. They were bedded down and only their antlers were sticking out of the grasses. Got a lot of shots. EXIF data shows the distance at 101 meters. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
The day before I shot this, he had 8-10 cows and he was being challenged by another big bull. It must have been a pretty good battle.
