A male Elk (Cervus canadensis) laying in a meadow amongst the yellow dandelions.
Description

One of the "Boys of Summer" (so named by the rangers). There are three of them that hang out around Canyon Village. They graze or lay there in the meadows, snarling up traffic and ignoring the tourists all day long.
