A battle of young elks left one a "Wounded Warrior"

In the wild, light and darkness coexist equally in the cycle of life. This image is a stark reminder that in nature it will always be about the survival of the fittest where we are left with the ones who win and those who are defeated. This young elk may have lost this battle but lives to fight another day.

This image was captured in Yellowstone National Park on August 13, 2021
