TITLE: Yellowstone Elk
Elk are some of the most important and influential animals in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Elk have shaped the environment of the park, affecting plant growth, influencing the materials beavers use to build dams, and even impacting stream temperatures.
But unfortunately you only see them very rarely. It was an awesome moment when this giant elk appeared between the hot springs in the forest.
