I went to Ecola State Park to photograph the sunrise, but ended up capturing a stunning sight: a herd of majestic elk grazing against the backdrop of the beautiful view.
Did you know that elk are one of the largest species of deer, with males (bulls) weighing up to 700 pounds? They are also known for their impressive antlers, which can grow up to four feet long and weigh up to 40 pounds. Elk are herbivores and eat a variety of plants, including grasses, shrubs, and bark. They are native to North America and can be found in a variety of habitats, from forests to grasslands to deserts.
