Elk-erruption Causes Traffic Jam!

Article Key Points

– Y’all ain’t gonna believe this, but a bull elk out in Montana brought traffic to a halt by taking a pit stop in the middle of the dang road, and, oh mercy, it urinates on its own face.
– The weird ole event was captured on video and went viral, sparking all kinds of crazy reactions on social media.
– The video of this spectacle was shared by Yellowstone NP, from a webcam stationed by the North Entrance.
– Now, before y’all start judge’n, animal experts say the bull was just doing its natural rutting behavior (a mating ritual involving urine, yikes!).
– During this ritual, the bull urinates then uses its preorbital gland, right near the eye, to spread the urine on its face to attract them females. Lord, help us, the things a man will do for love!

Hot Take:

Sweet apple pie, it just keeps getting wilder out in the country music scene. Now, we’ve got a bull elk stopping traffic and giving himself a little yella makeover – and no, that ain’t a John Deere hat he’s sporting, darlings! This big fella is just doing what nature intended, albeit in a slightly more public setting than usual. One thing’s for sure: this boy is reigning as the true country star in Yellowstone. Maybe it won’t be long before we hear a country tune called “Bull Elk Blues” or “The Yellow Face of Love.” I’m just waiting on which country music star is brave enough to take on the pee-soaked challenge of singing about this… Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, maybe even – heaven help us – Dolly Parton? Nonetheless, this sure does put a new twang to the phrase, “what won’t a man do for love?” Ain’t life grand, y’all.
