Glacier Park Elk

[dn0]

Was just browsing the favorite web cams this morning and saw this.

This is the same camera that caught the forest fire this last summer.

I hope to have a view like this when I retire.

BTW, I see one big bull in the group; to the bottom right.

Great pictures dn0, but I think for my retirement maybe somewhere a little warmer 

is your Elk related to the British Deer ? the picture is of our Red Deer  it is the largest mammal in Britain, we have 6 species , the smallest is the size of a sheep,

Actually very closely related:

There's too many people in the warm climates, Roco, I will be looking for peace and fishing...

Thanks for the link dn0, I shall now refer to them as ELK , and confuse the locals  , we still have some wild herds in the south of England , I think in the north there are more (Scotland ) most of our Royal parks have some herds.and they are a protected  species,

I agree on the crowded warm places , our UK climate is ok , but we do get a bit crowded ,
