Shedding The Antlers (silent, 1930s)
This 1930s silent film captures interactions between a man and an elk, likely in a wildlife setting. The footage includes scenes of the elk grazing, charging at the man, and shedding its antlers. At one point, the elk loses an antler after an aggressive charge, sniffs at it, and walks away. The man later holds up the antlers and feeds the elk, even pulling pieces off its shedding velvet. Intertitle cards suggest the film may have an educational or observational purpose, possibly explaining elk behavior and antler shedding. The recurring scenes of grazing and human interaction highlight the elk’s natural habits and its occasional unpredictability.
