EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the raw beauty of a bull Elk/Moose at London Zoo in January 1926. The majestic creature is seen lying down, showcasing the scars left behind by its recently shed antlers. Its full-length profile reveals the solitary nature of this historical deer species, as it rests peacefully within its enclosure. The image offers a glimpse into the world of hoofed mammals, specifically highlighting the resilience and strength of this particular animal. The wounds on its side serve as a reminder of both the physical challenges it has faced and its ability to heal over time. Intriguingly, this photo also hints at the intersection between wildlife and medicine. The injuries sustained by this magnificent elk prompt contemplation about how animals receive care for their ailments in captivity or in natural habitats. Photographer Frederick William Bond expertly captured this moment, emphasizing not only the visual appeal but also inviting viewers to reflect upon themes such as health, injury, and survival. This timeless image serves as a testament to both human curiosity towards wildlife and our ongoing efforts to understand and protect these remarkable creatures.
