Bull Elk Photobombs Picture When People Get Too Close (Video)

Some folks thought it’d be a good idea to take a photo in front of a bull elk with just a hedge separating them, but the bull elk wasn’t having it. The elk used the only language it could to tell the humans they were too close and they needed to get moving—body language. Let’s just say, the elk’s photobomb worked.

Aaron Wco captured the moment a few people sat down on what appears to be a bench on the other side of a hedge from where several elk were grazing. As they posed, a bull elk with large antlers photobombed their picture, but in an aggressive way. The person taking the picture noticed the animal’s change in posture and warned the others.

“Tourists getting photobombed by a rutting bull elk,” wrote Wco on his Instagram post sharing the video. He tagged the video with hashtag #tourons and #touronsofnationalparks. Wco also tagged the video with the hashtag #estespark, suggesting he took the video near Estes Park, Colorado, which is outside of Rocky Mountain National Park.

It’s easy to assume a peaceful-looking animal will continue to be peaceful, but things can change quickly, as these folks realized. Thankfully, the elk didn’t charge and pass through the hedge.

Would you attempt a photo with just a hedge separating you from a bull elk?
