Here's the infamous "broke horn" red deer roaring ( See MISHAPS 2
). Elk bugle, and red deer roar. The two sounds are very different. The red deer might only make a huge mooing sound, like a bull. But his all out call is a roar that sounds like a very, very large lion. The elk's bugling sounds like a (also very, very large) siren. |
He moved down to the water hole and roared on with no other deer in sight. |
He stopped his roaring to vent his aggression, and began goring the water hole. |
Here he is still violently jabbing and flailing away with his antlers. |
Now a dip. This red deer is the most dominant animal on our ranch. This much smaller red deer dominates the large elk and hybrids, driving them away from his space---even the buffalos give way to him. |
Even soaking he is driven to roar. |
Plastered with mud, he leaves the water and heads to the woods, and is, of coarse, still roaring. |
