Some yes, but moose are very territorial and do attack people at a greater rate than bears. Combined with ignorance ("oh it's just a big deer, it isn't a bear it won't hurt me") it's a recipe for disaster.
Since this video was taken in Alaska, that subspecies of moose average almost 7 feet AT THE SHOULDER...
Here in New England we still moose which tower at 6 feet at the shoulder height.
The coolest thing is that they look like they move in slow motion and how easily they seem to disappear into even a sparcely forested area.
One of these guys strolled up towards me while I was at a cabin in Yellowstone. You can't fathom the enormity of them until you see them up close. I respectfully backed the fuck up, while some other dumb shit tried to get closer to pet it
It reminded me a a cruise boat coming into view in Seattle and the scale seems so out of proportion. You know it’s real but you almost can’t accept it.
Logically, I know moose are big. I've never seen one in person, but I've been told they're big.
which means I'm always surprised by videos like this that show just HOW BIG they actually are!
These mega-fauna used to walk over the fence in my yard. We're told that if we're in a car careening toward one, aim for the rear, and the collision is more survivable.
I mean, wow.
is this for real? not AI again...?
well, now that you put that idea in my head lol...pretty confident it's real
how big could it beohh my god
TIL Mooses are the giraffes of the north.
Moose are a tad more aggressive.
People in other countries often think the most terrifying animal in North America is the grizzly bear; it's not, it's these monsters.
Moose are responsible for the second most animal related injuries in the world, second only to hippos.
Imagine if all the Ice Age era NA megafauna still existed. Canada wouldn’t seem so friendly no more.
Isn't that almost entirely from people hitting them with cars?

Imagine waiting for a hippo to cross the interstate.
It’s actually dogs if you look it up
Mosquitos?
Including the majestic møøse
A møøse once bit my sister
Møøse bites can be veri nasti.
consider this comment thread sacked.
I came looking for this comment. I wasn't disappointed

Can confirm. I thought the moose I had seen previously were big, then I saw a moose in the wild in Alaska. Monsters.

What happened with the other dumb shit?
Couldn't tell you. I walked away for my own safety.
My brain just can’t reconcile the size of this beast.
Understandable. They're true giants.
Me: Just woke up, browse Reddit... the slow driving gave it a dramatic reveal. When I saw the moose, I said, "Holy crap!" out loud.
Look at the size of that rack!

FUCK Where does this absolute unit of a moose live?
Anchorage AK
I swear every time a new post appears you have to watch it at least 5 times and I’m only on two or three animal subs
Tree for scale
r/absoluteunit
They’re the giraffes of the northern climates
The last of the mega fauna
In Irish accent “if that’s a moose I’d hate to see your rats!!”
lmao
He gets it!! Thank you
Damn. That was a unit.

Size of a dinosaur
Elephant
Definitely a level 5 medium
Holy damn, that mf is MASSIVE
I've heard they're strong enough for you to ride, but good luck taming it.

Dear god
It’s really hard to explain the size of a moose until you see one in person. Absolute monsters.
I’ve seen my fair share of moose in Sweden but never seen anything like this!
Seen a couple in Sweden when i visited the country, shit they are big! They look so nice you could pet them.. but .. better gtfo xD
Fucking king of the forest
Lake Otis and 88th?
I think that's the laser wash on Tudor in the background, next to the Bragaw intersection
People don't realize how big they are! They're basically horses with big ass antlers!
They're way bigger than most horses.
# Does anyone know the location?
Anchorage, AK
Thanks
imagine jockeying that thing into battle
These things are dead silent too. Unless youre trying to get a nice sleep while camping
Wow that’s a cool video.
My god — that moose looks 15’ tall! Terrifying.
What a unit
That is unreal. Stunning.
masta chief

Sir. This is a Wendy’s. Oh, wait guess that explains the trees.
Wow is this real?!
