Because there were no unicorns around...

...I decided to settle for white elk.

This guy and two others were grazing on a ranch outside Gunnison.

I thought the racks were interesting - the velvet is white (never actually considered that before) and they seemed disproportionately large and w-i-d-e.

Elk steaks anyone?

What's the opposite of 'Black Sheep'?

Can't say I've ever seen a while elk - interesting.

Interesting, I have never seen one before either. Cool, thanks for sharing.

Hmmm...I think your white balance is way off here!

Don't think they'll be making steaks out of this guy any time soon.
Pretty cool!
I'd bet the rack is relatively large because it's farm fed.

I had no clue these existed. Very cool CAZ.

Very, very, cool! I have never seen one either.

You sure that wasn't a unicorn acting as a elk

Never seen one of those before. Too cool.
