HIS MAJESTY

RESTING UP 

Saw this big fellow in the park last week.  Evidently he is taking a rest from gathering up his harem.  The elk rut is in full swing and the bugling elk can be heard in almost all sections of Yellowstone National Park.

It is amazing to me how these magnificent creatures can grow antlers this size in one spring and summer.  Also amazing to think that they can hold their heads up with all that weight resting there.

They will lose these in the spring and grow a complete new set by fall.  Isn't Mother Nature a wonder?
