Elks

During our trip up the coast of northern California and southern Oregon on Monday, we stopped and took quite a lot of pictures, so I'm going to divide the day into several posts... This is from an area where they had the largest herd of Roosevelt Elks in the world. There was a large camping area next to the herd, so the animals must have been semi-tame. We took the opportunity to shoot away... uhm, take photos, that is... all Elk pics here.

These four guys were stuffing their snouts at the roadside, seemingly without a care in the world. The sight made us turn around and investigate further.


I saw a couple of butts disappearing behind the main house and followed them around to the back. This is what I found.


And who might you be?


Come on now, all together: Awwwwwww!


I really had NO idea that elks practiced cunnilingus.


It's good to be the king.


This cat was, in the best tradition of his species, not giving a flying fuck about the presence of the elks.


A little farther up the road we saw another group of young bucks, probably less tame.
