Bull Elk Flehmen.

This trophy bull elk came out of the forest, bugled, posed and stood around for a few minutes before retreating to the woods. I guess he figured he'd expressed his dominance, and that was enough. Here I caught him flehmen, a rutting behaviour, and snapped a few photos. The curling of the upper lip is common amongst most ungulates, and even horses. I like the foreground timber, it adds to the sense of envronment for me. Trophy bull elk flehmen, lip curl, photos, Jasper NP, Canada. (Cervus Elaphus)
