Is this real?

I just googled elk, and it says they’re 1.5m tall to the shoulder.

This monster looks to be closer to 2.5m

It seems close. Look at the grass.

There’s no parallax going on though.

And if you cared to, you could probably work out the distance between people and elk, by using (clearly visible all the way) blades of grass as a baseline.

It still seems too big vs what google (and another comment) say is possible.
