Largest Bull Meets His Match during the Elk Rut

Elk Bull Fights are numerous during the Rut in Canada's Rockies, but this one was especially striking. Here is a close look at the Largest Elk Bull in this area.. first, a couple clips over the last month, before today's marathon fight with this younger rival. The younger rival has not been stressed near as much during the height of the rutting season, and clearly had the stamina to outlast one of this areas most dominant bulls today. The Bull that conceded defeat today has been the most dominant elk bull in this area now for years. This well known King has had to battle and run off rival bulls on almost a daily basis over the last month and a half, of which shows athleticism and genetics that are extremely rare. We suspect he decided it was more important to preserve his energy as very few cows remain in estrus. He did sustain some injuries here, but will likely be back to fight another day. More on Elk..

Amazing footage, what magnificent animals! Man, they look so winded after that battle - what energy they must expend doing that!

Elk are like deer that are built like bison. They are like giga-deer

I love how at the end of it they’re both panting like “can someone get me a Gatorade?”

[alansherrow]

This is so cool, to hear it first hand close is even better

[chasebh]

i think its incredible we have whole species of animals that headbutt each other for so long evolution was like "yknow what, lets grow something to stab them"

[jimaldridge]

Can see they were both completely worn out. The older bull just couldn't hold on against the younger bull. Thanks for posting!

Elk fight: "Man, I'm too tired for this mess." "You wanna keep going on?" "Yeah, wtf. Party time later!"

[mdalie]

I got to see bull elk in Jasper, never thought much of them but seeing them for the first time they're impressively big animals.
Maybe not the size & strength of these beasts though. Amazing photography.

I still think the cows should all stand in a circle and watch.

That’s beautiful these creatures have antlers, deer, elk, moose
