If you get in between a momma moose and her calves, you are a future dead meat sack. I'm from Maine and you learn this as a child. Congrats for finding out.

We don’t get mooses (meese?) here, but I saw a taxidermied one once and holy shit those things are genuine kaiju. Keep a continent between you and them, there’s photos on the internet you can have for free.

Saw a momma with two calves once while camping in Canada. We weren't very far from them, but momma and babies were walking away together, so they kept going and we just watched. Those babies were as tall as the horse I used to ride!

“Those moose will become unpredictable" how do we not yet have a moose-based video game?

I mean, Alaskans should know better as well. A very careless mistake that cost him dearly.

This proves that to escape a wild animal you don’t have to be quick, you just have to have a slower friend.

in my drivers' ed class in Maine we had to watch a video about how if you merely stop your car *near* a moose they might trample on it to teach you a lesson about gawking.

I once found a state run database that would show you a map of motor vehicle collisions with moose. In nearly every example, the moose survived being hit by cars going 40-50 miles per hour They would usually run off, but they sometimes turned and attacked the driver of the now totalled vehicle.

The spouse and I were hiking in Nova Scotia when we came across a moose in the trail, with a calf. We sloooowly backed up the trail a ways, until we were out of sight, waited a while, and then sloooowly hiked forward again. They'd moved on, but you can bet we were extra careful for a while.

I grew up in the mountain wilderness. My avatar is a grizzly bear skull (wearing a ball cap). And as terrifying as those huge, sharp teeth may seem, I still feared the momma moose more than the bear. Moose are crazy mean.

I was paddling around Teton park and came around a corner and found a baby moose directly in front of me. I have never paddled backwards so fast in my life! You could hear Mom coming through the thrushes!

If you see Moose calves and no Moose mama consider it may be because the mama is behind you -- and then beg God to forgive your sins cause that's all the time you have left.
