Video: Elk Herd Goes for a Swim

It seems that humans aren’t the only ones that enjoy a day out on the beach: elk do too. In the below video, several dozen elk gallop through the waters of Oregon coast while a photographer looks on. Whatever their reason is for hitting the water, the elk do look like they’re having fun.
Believe it or not, elk are strong swimmers.

Wildlife officials say that even calves can swim up to one mile.
