Elk typically prefer to avoid humans, but accidentally aggravate one and you could find a 700lb animal hurtling towards you at 40mph. One couple in Colorado found that out the hard way when they failed to spot a cow elk hiding near their home as they returned from a walk with their dogs.
In a video recorded by Ashley Unger and shared this week on Instagram account NatureIsMetal, the pair can be seen walking towards their front door, unaware of the elk until it breaks into a sprint. The man barely makes it inside in time, narrowly avoiding being knocked down and trampled.
