Description

Take a “Minute Out In It” to appreciate the winter adaptations of the Rocky Mountain Elk and Mule Deer of the Grand Canyon, seen weathering out the last snow storm together in a pinyon-juniper woodland. With a winter coat that is 5 times warmer than their summer coat, an elk bedded down in the snow is doing exactly what nature intended. Twice a year, elk shed every hair on their body. It’s long, 2-layer thick, winter coat will be replaced come July.
