Species Account:
This animal is not road kill but i found it on property i was looking at about 2 miles in off of thorn creek rd off of highway 21. It is able to be seen from the road pretty easily. The subdivision is called Napias and the elk was on lot 17 or 18. The cow elk appeared to possibly have the hoof disease on its right front hoof. I was trying to find information on if they have finger like nails because all the photos online for the hoof disease is the whole hoof. This particular case appears to be only the finger like nail. If it is a finger like nail it could be possible that the right front leg was injured and the elk was not walking on it for a long time allowing the nails to grow out and not wear down like normal. Anyways I hope this helps.
