Spotted: Rare 'Paint-Splashed' Elk!

Did you see the pics of that elk in Colorado with wild white patches? It’s not just a fashion statement—she’s got piebaldism, a super rare genetic trait that only pops up in 1 out of 100,000 elk! Locals say she looks like she took a dip in white paint. If you’re in Estes Park, keep your distance though—elk moms are extra feisty during calving season. Nature is seriously showing off! #WildlifeWednesday #RareFind #ColoradoElk #NatureIsAwesome #Piebald #Science
