Kathleen Nelson > Uh-oh. I hope the confrontation he's heading for isn't me. In reality, he was turning away from the other bull and taking a shortcut through a parking lot to a place where he apparently could watch while remaining more hidden.

Kathleen Nelson > Bull elk watching the people who are watching him. Note how the elk's eyeballs and eye socket can turn, giving the elk 360 degree vision. The ears of the elk also can turn to hear sounds from all directions. A cow is grazing calmly in the background, not at all impressed by the bull or the people who are watching.
