Young Bull Elk with Deer Antler,  Point Reyes National Seashore

The young bull tule elk on the left is fortunate to have found a shed antler to chew on.  Shed antlers are an important source of minerals, such as calcium.  He laid down and worked on the antler for about half an hour.  The other young bull would like to have it.  Such is life.

A couple of days ago I remembered that I started this blog when I was in Yellowstone in May of last year.  I checked and found that I published the first photo on May 13, 2010.  A year ago today.
