Elk and red deer love to wallow. Upper left is a female red deer, called a hind. |
The wet mud hole was right next door, but this stag preferred the thick mud. |
Besides cooling, the mud also helps to escape bothersome insects. |
The elk hybrid is on the right. The red deer is plastered with mud from his wallow. |
|
Some are grazing and some are browsing. |
It looks like they're wondering what they're missing out on in those woods. |
The red deer have the smaller size, darker color, and smaller, darker rump patch. |
