Watch this incredible close-up drone film of an elk – rather than loping off into the bushes, the curious animal sniffs and nuzzles the hovering camera.

Kolbjørn Hoseth Larssen, a former TV2 journalist turned media teacher, is such a keen drone photographer that he always keeps his device in the car.

So when on Thursday he heard that there was an elk on the loose in a nearby village, he had to try and film it.

When he arrived he found several elk but all of them ran away apart from one particularly curious animal who stayed to study the hovering craft.
