Elk
Like you, the elk is a force to be reckoned with, especially during mating season. A bull elk will secure up to 20 females for himself and defend his harem to the bitter end. If confronted, he'll strut back and forth, showing off his antlers and body size. If his challenger doesn't back off, the two will spar. If any of this sounds familiar, give us a long, loud bugle.
