Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has issued a warning to people visiting Estes Park after a cow elk was spotted ramming cars passing close to her calf. It's a timely reminder to give all animals a wide berth, particularly at this time of year when mothers are fiercely protective of their young.
"The cow elk have begun to raise their new calves of the year," CPW officers wrote in a post on Facebook, accompanied by a video of an animal charging at passing vehicles.
