Wild animals are difficult to comprehend their size unless they are seen in perspective to a familiar object.

Bull elk in front of a 4-wheel drive Tahoe. I need to use the running board to get up and into the vehicle.

They don't really like people, so I have only once seen one.  He/she was on cleared land and just strolled along.  Didn't even glance over to me.

 

The muscles and fitness are jaw dropping.  Thanked my lucky stars that my grandfurbaby was not with me to bark.  She would have been a just nibble.

 

Awesome.

People at work usually did a double-take the first time they saw me standing up...

Great pictures.  I'd love to know the story behind the police vehicle and the cat!

Awww, we usually see police dogs so it's nice to see a cop cat.  Beautiful animal.

 

It's usually the size of whales compared to the boats near them that blows me away.

@Citrine1.  It's cold and the engine in the car may have made the hood toasty warm.

 

I'd like to know if our hero, the cop, went out and insisted the cat get off of his car.  Imagine the paw prints all over that shiny black car.  I Imagine all those huge paw prints would really impress all those refugee Texans where @On It lives.  NM has BIGGER kitties.
