An unfortunate elk that had a tire stuck around its neck for over two years was finally freed from the onerous predicament after officials with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department managed to track down the creature following a lengthy search. According to a press release, the animal's troubling condition first came to the attention of authorities in July of 2019 when it was spotted by a worker conducting a population survey around the state's Mount Evans. However, since the sighting was from a considerable distance away and in deep wilderness, the department was doubtful that they would be able to help the elk at the time.
