Elk Rut Behavior - Courting

Here are the most magnificent Elk Bulls courting during the Elk Rut. When Elk cows come into estrus, a herd bull performs courting behavior that is different from his herding behavior. The herd bull will approach cows slowly and carefully, with antlers high and tongue flicking, doing everything he can to win her over. If a cow is not ready to mate, she will move away with her head low, weaving her neck side to side and the bull will stop his immediate courting. Cows will tolerate and accept the herd bull’s behavior when they are ready. The Elk Rut in Canada's Rockies..

We all knew this: uptake of stimuli into the VNO (vomeronasal system) is thought to be associated with a behavior known as flehmen, involving curling of the upper lip and facial grimacing, which can often be observed in ungulates and felines following direct contact with a scent source.

Why do they stick their tongues out all the time??

[@theropen1997]

It's how Elk bulls signal their intention to test the cow for sexual receptivity.

I loved the video, it's very interesting to know this animal behaviors on Elks of this size, cause in the country were I live, we don't have mammals such as big. :)
