You know spring has arrived when elk start losing their antlers! Bull elk shed their heavy antlers, and new growth begins, while bull moose also lose their antlers in early spring. This natural, painless process happens annually! To protect these animals and increase your safety, always follow the park's safety guidelines, stay on the trails, and never approach the wildlife. #BullElk #BullMoose #SpringWildlife #AntlerShed #WildlifeCycle #NatureInSpring #Spring #WildlifeWednesday #Wildlife 📸: YellowstoneNPS Image: An elk in the snow missing one antler
