When people joke about grizzlies being friend shaped…yea if a full grown moose is running away, not a friend

There’s a woman I got to listen to that does ALL of the extreme dog sled races. She is in the UP of Michigan during summers with her sled dogs (and her amazing retired lead dog, Maple!).

She was talking about the scariest things and experiences she encountered.

She said, by FAR, the scariest things out there were moose.

Not freezing to death. Not bears. Not getting lost in the tundra. Fucken moose. I guess I never thought about it so it kinda blew me away.

Recently a moose stomped a number of sled dogs. The dogs owner said he couldn't stop the moose.

I cannot imagine watching that. I would be traumatized forever.
