You have to see this! Video captures moment bull elk charges at, rams into passing vehicle

WATCH OUT — A wild video has been floating around online featuring a bull elk and a passing vehicle. I’m guessing the vehicle’s driver wasn’t expecting what was about to happen.
The video, taken by April-Lee Pearson and shared on Denver7, shows a huge bull elk standing on the lawn of a home in Evergreen, Colorado. A group of people are seen standing across the road watching the animal.
“From roughly mid-September to mid-October is elk rutting season, or mating season, in Colorado,” Denver7 wrote. “Many people flock to the mountains and foothills to see the beautiful creatures this time of year.”
As the onlookers observe the bull elk, a vehicle suddenly approaches, and the bull elk charges at the SUV. A loud noise is heard in the video as the animal appears to ram into the vehicle’s rear driver side, making the car wobble.
“Oh!” those watching the incident unfold are heard saying.
The bull elk stands its ground as the vehicle — with a driver who may have been a little shaken up from the unexpected encounter — continues down the road.
