EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Roosevelt elk cow and her calf take refuge in the lush, verdant rainforest of Olympic National Park, located in the breathtaking Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, USA. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and resilience as the elk duo huddle together, seemingly undisturbed by the gentle rain that falls around them. Roosevelt elk, scientifically known as Cervus canadensis roosevelti, are the largest subspecies of elk found in North America. They are named after President Theodore Roosevelt, who was an avid hunter and conservationist. These majestic creatures are well-adapted to the damp, rainy climate of the Pacific Northwest, with their thick, shaggy coats providing insulation against the elements. The elk cow in this image can be seen gently grooming her calf, a tender moment that underscores the strong bond between mother and offspring. The herd, which can consist of up to 20 individuals, can often be found in the rainforest, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including mosses, ferns, and shrubs. As the rain continues to fall, the elk appear at ease, their surroundings a testament to the beauty and resilience of nature. This photograph, captured by renowned nature photographer Ken Archer, invites us to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and the creatures that call it home. The Olympic Peninsula, with its diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife, is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.
