In these days of physical distancing, our new normal is to stay home, and when leaving for essentials, we should be at least 6 feet away from other humans. So it feels natural to remind ourselves that the distance between us and wildlife is much farther (at least 75 feet) and is a rule that should always be followed, global pandemic aside.

We've gathered some of our favorite photos of elk that just so happen to be doing their part to physically distance (although, they probably enjoy it more than we do).
