Elk families, so different from Human ones, and yet…

Photo #440: Elk BratLocation Taken: Yellowstone National Park
Time Taken: October 2012

Ok, we’ve zoomed in a bit further from yesterday’s photo, and now the elk are really obvious!

Camouflage only works so well, guys. But then, you probably know that, since you’re an elk, and you’re watching the world around you really closely while your buddy eats.

Meanwhile, there’s this head on your back, but then, what are relatives for aside from bothering you?

Herds tend to be made up of relatives, you know. It’s easy to hang around people if you were raised among them. And well, you know how irritating that older sister or that one uncle or the bratty cousin can be. It’s probably just as bad for other species.

Well, aside from the fact that your brother doesn’t seem like quite as much a pain as, say, getting eaten by wolves. It’s all relative, you know.
