Clyde the elk prefers bottled water, thank you very much from "The Denver Post"

If you saw an elk choose a bottle of water over city water or water from the mountains, what would you say? Clyde, the elk, will only have bottled water over any other water.

It's not clear who gave him his first bottle of water, but now he spurns the ranch's well and a 6,000-gallon tank of city water. He wraps his lips around a bottle if it's proffered by a human. Clyde is an elk in Wyman Living History Museum in Craig, Colorado. Clyde is a domesticated elk that drinks from a bottle of water only. His owner, Lou Wyman, says that Clyde probably likes the bottle more than the water because his mother was killed when he was a baby, so he was bottle fed. Now your probably asking yourself how did this Lou Wyman find Clyde? Well at the time, Wyman ran an elk ranch, supplying elk meat and hides. The elk teeth and antlers went to jewelry-makers, Wyman got out of the elk business 10 years ago, selling off the herd but keeping the newborn Clyde.He's now a massive bull with huge antlers and has become a big attraction at Wyman's museum. Sometimes he bugles—the male elk's call—when guests drive up.
