ESTES PARK, Colo. — An 8-year-old girl was attacked by a cow elk in Estes Park Thursday afternoon, according to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife .

The officer stayed for several hours to monitor the situation. They then returned to the area Friday to take the calf to the CPW Health Lab, where it will be cared for by veterinarians and wildlife specialists. “This is an unusual and unfortunate situation where a young girl was playing outside, far from the calf, and a cow elk became aggressive to protect her newborn,” said Jason Duetsch, area wildlife manager for CPW, in a statement. “While it is a natural reaction for cow elk to be very defensive during calving season, it is not often they hurt someone, especially a child. We’re happy the girl is recovering from her injuries and wish her continued healing.
