Video: Young Bull Elk Struggles to Stay Awake

It’s bedtime, but this bull elk just wants five more minutes. If you’ve never seen one of these magnificent animals rock themselves to sleep, you’re in for a treat. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources uploaded this video of a bull elk nodding off on their Facebook page, and when we say it’s nodding, we mean it literally.

Having several pounds of antler on your head may make you look impressive during the rut, but it sure makes sleeping awkward. Be warned, watching the video may make you a little drowsy yourself, especially when listening to some lullaby music from Brahms.
