Yellowstone elk (September 6, 2025)
Elk are the park's most abundant large mammal, with an estimated 10,000-20,000 in the summer. All but about 2,000 migrate north out of the park in the winter. We were there during rutting season but didn't hear any bugling (their mating calls) or see any bulls fight to gather females into their harems. Only the bulls have antlers so this must be a female who's sharing the road with us.
