| Image Title: Elk Antler Photographer's Notes:
next spring. Made of calcium, they are bone. An extension from the skull, they act as a defense from rival bulls as well as predators. This fine specimen has laid on the ground, untouched for many years. Antlers are taken from the wild by some as a 'trophy', a souvenir by others. Inside Yellowstone National Park, antlers are not allowed to be taken. I found this lichen-rich elk antler off trail in an area rarely seen by humans. I imagine it is still there, even years after this image was taken. This image is currently available in multiple sizes.
