It's the time of year when massive herds of Elk are on the move.
And while many states (like Wyoming) have a Migration Initiative that focuses on getting animals safely along their annual migration routes despite human advancement into their territory, sometimes tragedy can still occur.
I came across this video on TikTok and just like the people in the background that filmed the video, it made me gasp when I saw it.
In the video, a herd of Elk are crossing a barbed wire fence line, which would normally not be an issue for these large animals.

As I warned at the beginning of the article, this video is graphic.
While the video is a bit fuzzy you can still see what happens.
Yet per usual on TikTok, a debate rages in the comments about what actually happened to the Bull.
Did it break its back when it flipped or did its huge set of antlers get stuck in the ground?
