Theyre little bigger than a white tailed deer, if not in height, then in build. White tails are pretty lithe.
The Elk I got to pet was behind a fence, it was a wild elk but they were not shy. So yeah walking up to a wild animal, especially one as gigantic as these, not a great idea. But it was a controlled environment and it was a very cool experience!
