Elk Calf plays in the puddle!

[CuteThingsExploding]

can we explode this? let us know!

[TheRazorsEdge21]

Looks like it would make good venison sausage with all that exercise

[sabledawn]

10 seconds later, an Outdoorsman type comes by and drinks out of the stream.

[s1ndydoll]

Joy. Funny guy. I know how he feels! I get excited by a pool too!!

[NewZealandParkour]

SUDDENLY JAWS

[Venckman]

The elk calf is channeling his inner Gene Kelly. Win!

[Evangeline30575]

REGINA!

[dourabbawinner]

Well it's a tad small. But when it's bigger I can say that I'd eat it.

[InShatteredMolds]

2 people dont know what a puddle is

[kat211123]

I'm cute I'm cute!!!

[mathewdean223]

I wonder if he's laughing and yelling "Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!" in elk?

[Sifinland]

Its so sad that people hunt these magnificent animals. Hunting really needs to stop being normalised and glorified. Sarah Palin should be ashamed.

[jazmella]

@Sifinland I was just telling my boyfriend the same thing.

This video is adorable and sweet, yet it makes me sad and angry at those humans who hunt these majestic creatures. :-(

[XFactorNo9]

@jazmella seriously? go yell at cavemen, they're the ones that started the whole trend.

[ObeseRacoon]

what is dat? is dat a deer? or is that a donkeh? comooon let me see your face!

[meowkatzz]

@ObeseRacoon It's not like it says it's an elk in the title or anything.

[danos74]

I think we have a gambolling addiction here. :)

[codekiln]

@danos74 you are so punny

[autumnsylver]

That is so cute :)

This video deserves way more views.

[JCRJohnson]

The mud puddle is probably a "salt-lick" which is a naturally occurring concentration of salt and other minerals. They make for good places to set up blinds for photography or hunting where it is allowed. In some places it is considered baiting and you can't hunt at them.

[cdeville]

Wow, this is a great motion study for animators, I'd imagine. Great stuff! Also makes me want to find a secluded puddle to frolic in :/

[bonertron34]

did he died? is he okay?

[dakunism]

*oafish laugh* ahahaha splash the wata splash the wata ehahaha....

*looks around* can anyone see me?....is anyone watchin?...no?.....good

*oafish laugh* ahaha plash the wata...

[HLimmen]

I'm jumping in the water, I'm jumping in the water!

0:24 What the fuck am I doing here.

0:30 Oh yeah that's right, I'm jumping in the water!

[Thesupermadman]

@HLimmen 0:37 Well that was fun.

0:40 Holy crap where did that puddle come from?!

[mssxwc]

"I'm drowning! I'm drowning!"

"No your not, just stand up you idiot..."

[leaowens]

On behalf of the fish, I'd like to speak out against this juvenile behaviour....



[Lack042]

That's must be the first video ever without any dislikes at all

[cclark00]

Kids aren't that different... No matter the species.

[harveykorso]

It's probably trying to waist time before it dies because some dumb ass over privileged hunter killed it's mom. I couldn't kill on of these.

[thedavehatessheep]

He's not playing, he's locked in an epic battle with the puddle that killed his father and raped his mother

[shodanxx]

looks like he wanted to make the water turn black

[joannchilada]

Someone, please do a voice over for this. Be the elk's voice. Do me this favor. Thank you.

[mistaspot1]

0:24 "Wait, no one's looking, right?"

[squeege421]

He's fighting away the invisible cougars.

[panbread89]

It's kind of sad that he doesn't have anyone else to play with.

[juhugafuga]

I like the part where the Elk Calf plays in the puddle.

[oneromnala]

@juhugafuga YOU REMEMBER THAT TOO??



[Topher587]

He's playing the nature version of "The floor is lava".

[RobUnkown]

I bet if that Calf knew he was on youtube he'd be like Shit this is embarrassing

[LizzieLizard123]

aww cute! How did you get so close?

[wopatwoman]

Just like a kid to want to play in puddles:)

[JoseMB13]

Omg! This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. As soon as he finds the puddle he gets so happy. Oh god, this deer just made my day :D

Btw, you should watch this video while listening "An Ending (Ascent)" by Brian Eno.

[koyebahtdoelay]

He's soo adorable!

[MiraSekelsky]

He's so cute! I love how at 0.24 he stops as if to see if anyone might see him being an idiot!
