Hormones make both humans & animals do the strangest things! During the mating season or rut, a bull elk’s urine becomes saturated with testosterone & any boggy or muddy spot can become a wallow. • • Bulls will take turns raking the wallow with their antlers, then unleash their funky urine onto themselves & into the mud. They will then roll around in their mud bath to coat themselves with the urine “cologne”, in hopes that their irresistible scent will attract a mate. | Alaska Wildlife Conservat
