Criminy, people, have you seen what these critters do with their antlers? Do you think they are audio-animatronics, or tame pets that are trotted out by handlers into picture-taking distance?
The last thing you will catch me doing is getting up close to a wild animal with a head full of spikes, then turning my back to get a picture with it. But if you want to do so, please, go right ahead. The human genetic pool could use some sweeping.
(Psssst! I hear that bears love to take selfies with the tourists! The cubs are especially cute — their mommas love it when you hold them on your lap for a picture!)
((Yeesh. Please don't do this, people.))
Cops warn against elk selfies after antler incident
Elk selfies. Not a good idea.
If my memory is correct, an elk kills a person about every four years in Rocky Mountain National Park, and that's just counting the people who get too close and get gored, not the people who run into one while driving.
In elk grove (Chicago), fences protect the horned creatures. They are Big!
+John Bump I'm surprised the number is that small.
