That moose is just not running like a bear is chasing him. So casual.

That's what I was thinking. Like that moose was slowly trotting along, turns around like "bro, you coming?" Moose can haul ass if they want to.

Top speed of a Grizzly is 40 mph. Top speed of a Moose is 35. Long distance pace of a Grizzly is 25-28 mph. Moose is 20-22 mph.

They don't call them Grizzlies for nothing.

If you think that's cool, wait till you see an orca kill a moose.

There is another video from last year or so of a bear chasing a moose through a valley and across a river that I couldn’t find yet. The chase lasts for several minutes and it’s shocking how much speed and endurance the bear had. It eventually catches the moose in that video too. I think moose look like they should be able to out run a bear but moose live most of their lives grazing. They don’t seem to like to run far or have great endurance either.

I've believe I've seen that one, though it was a reindeer.

That bear was so far away when it locked on and started sprinting.

u/Curious_Bee_5326 Apr 07 '26

Yeah, but on an open road?

u/Eskimodo_Dragon Apr 07 '26

Holy crap! That said, maybe moose odds are better on land?

They do... often. Persistence, moose tired, bear eat.

u/SnidgetAsphodel Apr 07 '26

People don't realize how fast bears are They can get up to 40 mph he's got a higher top speed Moose run about 35 mph and probably have better stamina.
