Young Rocky Mountain Elk



Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni)
Location:  Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA

This is a young male elk, photographed near the Moraine Park campground in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park.  His antlers are much smaller than those of a mature elk buck.
