Person Walking Between Two Bull Elk Gets Charged
Occurred on October 31, 2021 / Estes Park, Colorado, USA
Info from Licensor: While in Estes Park, we noticed a heard of Elk relaxing and feeding in the middle of a park area. It was a beautiful site to see up close and personal. I then noticed another male Elk coming towards the herd and thought this isn't going to be good. The two male elks made eye contact and started showing teeth. That's when I knew to clear a path between the two and let mother nature take its course. However, a person thought it would be wise to walk right in front of one of the male elks. This person also didn't listen to my commands to watch out and that's when the person got attacked by the elk. The person seemed fine, thankfully but the message here is to respect the space of wildlife and to use common sense.
