A cow elk gives birth right next to the Administration building at Yellowstone National Park headquarters in Mammoth Hot Springs! 

You can see how wildlife and people can live together harmoniously.  And I figure it is one of the few places in the Yellowstone area where a cow elk can safely have her calf without it being eaten immediately by a grizzly or a wolf! 

Enjoy these great photos! -
