CASTLEGAR B次元官网网址� The bull elk spotted on a Castlegar rooftop was able to get up there by using snow to climb onto the top of the carport, according to the homeowner.

Karen Wenger, who lives on First Avenue down by the river, said the elk has been hanging out in her neighbourhood for about a month, but only ever got up on her roof once.

B次元官网网址淢ost of the houses down here are built into banks. Our houses are lower in the front than they are in the back, so my carport roof, in the back, is maybe only three feet off the ground and then with the snow there itB次元官网网址檚 an easy leap for him to get up there,B次元官网网址� she said.

From the roof of the carport, the elk was then able to access the roof of the house.

Wenger said the elk has also been helping himself to the shrubs in her backyard.

ItB次元官网网址檚 not the first time sheB次元官网网址檚 seen elk in the neighbourhood, B次元官网网址渂ut weB次元官网网址檝e never had one thatB次元官网网址檚 made himself at home like this one.B次元官网网址�

The elk was unavailable for comment.
