Elk are aggressive…

when nursing.

We were walking around town and strolled on down to see the Roosevelt Arch. It is a pretty neat piece of architecture. Ben especially loved the doors.

As we were walking back towards where we parked the truck, we heard high pitched animal calls. We looked towards the park and we saw three baby elk running towards the Arch. We heard an answering call and saw two momma elk strolling out from a side parking area, relatively close to us. We backed up to give them room.

One of the babies met his/her mom in front of us. The baby must have been very, very hungry because they about tackled the mom to nurse.

The video is up on our YouTube channel!
