People with cabin fever in the Colorado town of Evergreen started a ritual of howling at the moon at 8 o’clock each night as a means of bringing people together during the coronavirus pandemic, but one night an elk chimed in.
CBS Denver reported the “howl at the moon” activity, and a discernible bugling call of an elk can be heard in the background. But skeptics wonder if the news station got punked, because elk typically bugle during the rut from September to October.
But others say elk can bugle year-round so it could very well have been an elk joining the party.
For humans wanting to join the howl and join others online who howl, a “Go outside and Howl at 8 p.m.” Facebook group page has been created.
Or you can simply go outside at 8 o’clock every night and howl to your heart’s content.
