Portrait of an Elk, as a young beast...

Elk rut in the fall and give birth to their young in the spring.

This shot, taken just a 10 days ago, is of an elk (Elklette? Just what do you call a baby elk?) who was suckling his mother, just moments before, so he (she?) was obviously born in the very late spring.

Having discovered me, he was a curious about me, as I was about him.

This curiosity can be seen at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/elklette.htm

Comments, criticism appreciated, as always....

Thanks for looking.

PS: does anybody here know the species of Elk found in the Banff/Jasper area? I'd always understood they were transplanted Roosevelt Elk, but all the references I can find say they're Rocky Mountain Elk. Expertise appreciated!
