“He doesn’t make many public appearances. But whenever he shows up at his annual stag do – otherwise known as the mating season – the Emperor of Exmoor always makes an impression. Thought to be the largest wild animal in the British Isles, he weighs around 300lb and stands 9ft tall from the ground to top of his antlers. Photographed on his traditional stamping ground near the Devon and Somerset border, his precise location is kept a closely guarded secret for fear that poachers may try to stalk him.” w/ photos
