Today we look at more photos of the elk in Mammoth Hot Springs. It is my understanding that the houses depicted here are the residences of park employees. On this day the streets in this area were closed to foot traffic by the general public because of the presence of elk.
Officials Take The Situation In Mammoth Hot Springs Very Seriously

A truly magnificent creature. They seem to stand so tall and proud.
ReplyDeleteMore great photos. You are right, another bull will take his place...but by sharing your photos, people will never forget him.
ReplyDeleteI must say, no one will ever take the place of Benezette's Fred Jr....I hope he can thrive for many years to come.
You are exactly right, another one will step up and take his role. But wow, you certainly captured how amazing he once was.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful animals. Nicest photos I have seen today.

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing creature. I read your prior post...what a weird accident. I suppose things like this happen but it sure does seem strange.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it must be intimidating but I would love to see these creatures up close

Willard: A neat capture of your favorite animal. I love the last bull shot.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice series images and post. Great shot showing the ear tag. Yep, like you said, another big guy will follow in behind #6. Blue Skies.
ReplyDeleteGreat images. I think the bottom image looks like he is smiling and perhaps singing a tune!!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome bull Willard. The last image shows his size and the size of his antlers incredible.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent images. It is unfortunate that know that he's no more.
A sad death for such a beautiful creature..thanks for sharing this info..
ReplyDeleteWillard I failed to mention on your previous post that I am glad you got to meet number 6. He may be the most famous of Yellowstone. Unfortunately I never photographed him like I should have but I spent numerous hours watching and enjoying him.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the last one of him bugling. Wonderful photos--sad that he's gone.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I would just LOVE to see this in person.
ReplyDeleteIt was so sad to hear that this magnificent animal is no more.
ReplyDeleteYou do have some great photos to remember him by.
