What an awesome elk! This reminds of me of Illion's Darkness over Tibet where he talks about some animals that are on the ascending spiral of evolution and others are on the descending path. This elk is definitely ascending, showing compassion for another animal like that.

I just saw it on sott, and I thought that this is really cute.
