Bull elk attacks truck in Estes Park

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

Gotta love the road rage when there's a dangerous animal stopping traffic and attacking cars.

I saw a different video where someone noticed that same elk apparently was calling for help. He followed it and a cup (?) was stuck in a ditch. But these days you really can't be sure anymore what part of the video is real and what someone edited and narrated and made up.

[@evanstauffer4470]

Well, in the other video a motorist got out of his vehicle and followed the elk to where there were three elk trapped in quicksand (incorrectly called "mud"), one of which dies before our eyes. It would seem difficult to fake that unless the faker just happened to have a video of three elk trapped in quicksand laying around. The elk in both videos is not "attacking" anything; its behavior seems to indicate it is trying to get attention more than anything else.

[@andyhumpal5284]

Quick sand hehe

[@eee-t1r]

I doubt the bull is calling for help as that is dominance/aggressive display and you can see him smelling the air after since its rut

There’s actually a longer version of this video where it shows this buck was only trying to get the attention of someone so they could help the herd. Apparently the herd had become stuck in a marsh nearby and the buck actually led several people to them. They roped and dragged them out to safety. It’s one of those rare instances where animals come to humans for help.

[@shrujanamsyama9940]

@@ZouUuu Elks and deer never ask for help. They are extremely stupid and have no sense of reasoning. They randomly run in front of vehicles, randomly flee from people and so on. More intelligent animals like canines, elephants, birds, felines etc can ask for help. But never deers

It wasn’t reckless for the cars to go around. They did it in a safe manner. But it was reckless for this truck to just sit there blocking the road. There is no need to stop when the elk is on the side of the vehicle. They could have kept going and the elk would eventually move off the road.

[@timschlewitz3468]

yes

[@z9nc982]

passing on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic is really stupid

[@lincolndimmick-cdhs9100]

[@mtsflorida]

The elk saw it as a challenge. The truck picked a bad time to move and when it did was too slow in the wrong direction. It considered the truck about to blind side him.

[@andrewhorry9417]

Why did the stupid truck stay there for so long like he was begging to be hit the stupidity of people is almost unbelievable

[@michaelbauers8800]

He may have thought it would be worse if he moved. I think I would have kept driving...slowly. But I think those Elks could do serious damage.

[@waceymurley]

There’s folks that say to keep your vehicle still if they approach until it moves away. Don’t want to spook it and cause it to jump on your vehicle and hurt you or in front of your vehicle and hurt it. Ultimately I think I’d probably just try and get away from it but maybe they were afraid of spooking it and hurting it.
