Species: Elk, Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado | Location: Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, United States of America
Photo taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, September 21, 2016, 6:00 p.m. local. It was a beautiful evening in the park, the light brought out the colors in the animals, flowers, sky, grass etc. . There were 3 elk herds nearby with lots of action and competition. These 2 were looking to increase their herd size. Each herd included over 30 females. If you look closely the elk on the left has one side of his antlers broken off.
