Only moments after an energetic mating session (click on thumbnail below ), a magnificent male elk incongruously takes a rest on the lawn of Yellowstone’s main post office in Mammoth Hot Springs. To add to the incongruity, the elk ignores the presence of the stylized statue of a bear just behind him, while the lanterns over the doors of the post office echo its rack of antlers. The tag in his ear helps rangers monitor his whereabouts.
