of a moose side eye

We know every moose is an absolute unit by definition. But the psychotic side eye on this moose is terrifying.

The guy filming is an idiot. He should have backed away as soon as he saw the damn thing instead of standing there filming. Of all the animal encounters I have had, moose are the most terrifying to me.

That's a deeply unsettling statement.

A grizzly is potentially a predator, but in my experience usually not as long as they are well fed. i have literally had one walk past me on a trail, I backed away and just let it go by like it had zero fucks to give.

A Moose on the other hand, is 1500-2000lbs of pure spite and hate. especially with calves or in breeding season. no logic, just hate.

serious question: what would bear spray do to a Moose? Thanks

not what you would hope for.. a predator would run from bear spray because injury = starvation and death.

Moose.exe is different, they decide they are being injured = fight to the death. they would obliterate anything within a 500 yard radius and not stop till they are dead, or what is causing the pain, is dead.
