Jessica Hemlin occasionally has a very special visitor in her back garden: a white elk. When it made an appearance this week, she had the presence of mind to run and grab her camera.
Hemlin, 24, was just about to get into the car parked outside her home near Munkedal, south-west Sweden, on Monday when she spotted the white elk, GP reports. She quickly ran and grabbed her camera, and managed to capture the elk in a series of photographs.
The Local called up Hemlin to ask what it feels like having such an unusual animal show up in your back garden.
"It's really special. It's a powerful feeling," Hemlin told The Local.
"You can get really close to it as well," she added. "You get a bit of an adrenaline rush – these are big animals when you walk up to them!"

Since Hemlin first spotted the rare elk near her house around three years ago, it has been coming back intermittently. In 2016, Hemlin managed to capture it in a video, as seen below.

At first I thought they made a mistake in referring to it as an Elk instead of a Moose but learned that Sweden they refer to them as Elk or Moose

Amazing beast, powerful and magnificent. Real treasure of India.
What is the current rhino situation in Manas national park? Is there any chance for creation of a third large rhino population beside Kaziranga and Chitwan?

Stable & breeding.. Both Manas & Dudhwa show potential.
North Bengal's Gorumara Sanctuary(100 km² ) & Jaldapara National Park(215 km² ) on the other hand, houses 250+ rhinos together.. Both have reached their carrying-capacity...also, the male-female ratio is skewed.
Relocation to Buxa Tiger Reserve, & exchange with Assam & Nepal is being planned.
RE: Big herbivores! - Wolverine - 11-10-2017
Yes, I just red - 200+ rhinos in so small park as Jaldapara is not bad at all. I think you are frequent visitor of Jaldapara and know every square meter there?
Great Indian rhino is for me as interesting as tiger. It's just crazy amazing super-beast.
