Can
you identify what's in this photo?
Each Wednesday morning
on Camp Lutherlyn's Facebook page
the Lutherlyn Environmental
Education Program posts a photo.
Readers
have all morning and afternoon
to
make their best guess about what the photo is.
Around
6 pm LEEP provides the answer and a brief explanation.
Each
week's What is it Wednesday post
will
also be posted on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
after it is posted on Facebook,
sometimes
with additional bonus information.
In
addition to bringing you current editions of What is it Wednesday
on the
Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
we
will be reposting old editions,
creating
a What is it Wednesday archive.
This
photo was posted as a What is it Wednesday on.
And
the answer is....
This is a close-up view of the elk in LEEP’s Discovery Room,
focusing on the base of the antler.
This elk (aka wapiti) is one of the newest and most popular additions to the Discovery Room.
Astonishingly, male elk grow a new set of
antlers each year – imagine growing that much new bone every year!
This elk was
part of the Pennsylvania herd of elk in Cameron County, and was taken during a
limited hunt in 2006.
Next time you’re visiting Lutherlyn, stop in at the
Nature Center and get a close-up look at the wapiti and other animals in the
Discovery Room!
