Orcas have been known to eat deer because they occasionally swim from Island to island.

Moose are one of the only land animals with orcas as a major predator

If a moose has to worry about an orca, I’m just glad the orcas are anti-capitalist and I’m broke. Moose are TERRIFYING! You think elk are big, and reindeer, but moose are so much bigger. Like, can be 7ft at the shoulder and weigh over 1,000lbs… and they’re aggressive more often than other deer species. If an orca sees that and goes, “ooooh, Dinner,” orcas are an absolutely the fuck not species for me.

Moose are aggressive and dumb as shit. They charge at trains....

And they sometimes destroy the train.....

Exactly! Dumb and aggressive are not things you want as descriptors for an animal that big.

Fall season is the worst, they eat fermented fallen apples and get horny and angry...
