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!
