Watch a Beautiful Elk Pee All Over Their Own Face In Yellowstone
American national park Yellowstone National Park is situated in the western part of the country, mostly in Wyoming’s northwest corner and spreading into Montana and Idaho. The majority of Yellowstone’s land area is covered with lava flows and boulders from volcanic eruptions. There are hundreds of known species of mammals, fowl, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and even a few that are endangered or vulnerable. It’s a spectacle that must be seen.
With so much beauty surrounding visitors at Yellowstone National Park, the last thing they expected to see was caught on film by an onlooker. On September 20th, 2021, the people visiting the beloved park spotted an elk relaxing near the parking lot.
The elk lets out a noise comparable to a scream or whistle. A bull elk’s bugle may be recognized by non-hunters as well. There are several different tones to the sound, which start out low and then turns into a loud scream. When they are looking for a mate during the rut, bulls will bugle.
As a symbol of authority, the vocalization also acts as a warning to nearby bulls. Although you can’t estimate a bull’s size solely on his bugle, you may use it as a beacon to find him. Just like rush hour in the city, you can hear people become irritated at those who’ve stopped to watch the beautiful animal.
Cows will pay attention to a bull’s bugling and assess its mate-ability. The cow is trying to figure out which bull has the highest probability of producing a huge calf that will survive. She learns crucial details about the bull via its speech, scent, and look.
As he’s being filmed, the elk gets up, seemingly to leave the area. Instead, we see the elk start to pee… all over his face! As other drivers are angry about the hold-up, it’s somehow a mesmerizing sight to see.
Believe it or not, much like toddlers, elk are known to pee on themselves! Bull elk enjoy dousing themselves in pee to entice the ladies. Their distinctive fragrance, which draws cows, is caused by the urine soaking into their hair. “Self-anointing” is the term for this practice.
Apparently, pick-up lines don’t work in the wilderness and the main alternative is to wet yourself. Check out the video below!
