Watch a Newborn Baby Elk Calf Stand For the First Time

Few other places in North America offer wildlife-watching opportunities like that of Colorado. Colorado’s majestic residents include bighorn sheep, bald eagles, mountain goats, moose, pronghorns, elk and many more.

In Estes Park we have seen elk time and time again, but this was a first for me.

We found video of a newborn baby elk calf standing for the first time and then takes its first steps.

Thank you to Robert Burns for this video.
