Because of the mountains and forests in Arizona, there is a lot more wildlife than just rattlesnakes and roadrunners. This cow elk in Arizona appears quite happy to be standing in the snow. To get a good grasp of the picture, the elk in this image stands about five feet tall at the shoulder and probably weighs about 500 pounds.
Now that is up close and personal.
Yeah, but I don’t think the elk is the slightest bit concerned.
