Huge herd of elk crossing the road in Bozeman, MT near Yellowstone. I have never seen a herd this big. Poor little guy at the end...leave no elk behind. For licensing/usage please contact: licensing@jukinmedia.com

Cracks me up that there’s one silly elk trailing and getting worked up at getting left behind for a moment, because that’s exactly how sheep behave. I’m a sheep shearer, and in my experience there’s always one in the flock being ridiculous

I was so relieved yet so tramatized at the same time cause they just left... so it was refreshing to see how some elk waited for the last one...lol... that made me happy :)

I'm still in my 20's and I'm alive and well and that's all that matters... this is why I was so happy for that last elk to finally make it because it reminds me so much of myself. I'm happy that the elk wasn't left behind and there were actually a few waiting for him, whereas there was no one waiting for me... but I'm still here and alive and well, so that's something to celebrate :)

However, this little elk finally figures it out. Give nature a chance first. If they can't do it in the end, then that's when we step in. I love how the other Elk wait for him and once he catches up to them, they continue on their journey. :-)

I always caught them then and around 4:30 PM. It was amazing and the lead Cow and Bull would stand in the road until the entire herd went across and down to the missouri river to drink. Beautiful , incredible creatures!. Good vid.!

Slenvr If you understand the basic concept of "herd mentality," you'll know that they were not "all" waiting for that one elk. Four were waiting, but some are waiting for the other four, which causes another chain reaction where another group is waiting for the other group. This in turn turns into the "bandwagon effect." Maybe you should do some reading and research before trolling on youtube and making yourself look like an idiot.
@sankai9110 жыл бұрын
kashewz how exactly do you know that it were exactly 4 of them that were waiting on him and not a single one, causing the same effect on the other three? (by the way, why 4, I only see 3 that are a little separated from the rest) anyway, if the herd was waiting for the 3-4, which were waiting for the last one, then the horde was also (indirectly) waiting for the last one, so either way Slenvr is right with his second sentence..

It would be good to create an elk crossing corridor on this road, since elk have to migrate. It would be easy enough to make a gap in the fence for the young and the mothers so no elk would be left behind. I have seen too many bruised and bleeding hocks of deer and elk who have to jump a fence like this twice a day. They also make collapsible fences for wildlife that spring up again afterward. Let's be conscious of the needs of forms of life that share this planet with us.
