Nobody grasps the size of a moose until they see it next to a car.

Moose are such good swimmers in fact, that the killer whale is considered to be one of their natural predators.

Imagine befriending a moose. Heck, imagine befriending an entire army of moose! I’d be UNSTOPPABLE

Fun fact, moose are wild animals and you should not touch them or chase them. If you make them feel threatened you will die.

Moose are underrated animals they’re friggin awesome so beautiful and strong

Fun fact: If a male moose is chasing you, don't make the mistake of assuming it can't get its antlers between trees. They can and will tilt their heads, at speed, to weave through trees as long as their body can fit between them. Moose are basically about as dangerous as bears, when they want to be. That said, if you're in the right places in Alaska, you'll find them wandering around your neighborhood, and they don't often cause a ton of trouble. We had a female moose who gave birth in our back yard every year, when I was still up there. The trick is just to not approach them, or go outside at the same time as them being around. Also... An SUV won't protect you from a moose collision. All it does is take their legs out from under them and send their giant body through your windshield (and you). Get a smaller car, and they'll sail right over you instead. EDIT: After some discussion in the comments, it appears that I do not know what I'm talking about with moose and SUVs specifically, so the last "fact" may not be very accurate. My apologies! This concludes Woodledude's Fun Moose Facts.

I heard that you don't actually realize how huge moose are until you actually see one. We all know they're huge right, but when you see one up close, it's a different kind of "know"

Nobody talking bout the moose that was running on water?

When I was about 5, we were camping in Canada. We took the day to play in a nearby waterfall that ended in a big swamp. I was playing at edge of swamp when I saw a head and antlers swimming to my side of the swamp. Then moose got out of water, and I was scared to death! Never have I ever encountered such an absolutely huge animal in the wild. 35 years later I still have a very clear picture of that moose in my head.

My God they are huge. This literally made my eyes widen seeing how big they are.

Male moose really goes out for milk every time

Count yourself lucky if you're able to befriend one, they're incredibly strong animals, and Incredibly aggressive when provoked.

“MOOSEN! I SAW A FLOCK OF MOOSEN!” -Brian Regan

And often, their best friend is a flying squirrel.

There's no way to tell through a video exactly how massive moose are. I saw one once. It's mind-blowing.

He forgot to mention how insane the males are during rutting season. They would just as soon kill you than tolerate your presence. The young males are very dangerous.

The momma with the two little babies was so adorable 🥰🫎

Quick story: A trucker from Texas was part of a convoy. Someone warned of a moose on the road, but this guy thought they meant mouse. He went, "This is what we do with mice in Texas!" and pulled into the passing lane, speeding up and blaring his horn. The moose, well, took that as a challenge. The moose lowered its horns, and locked with the semi. Later, the trucker called his boss, and explained that the engine had ended up falling out, causing the trailer to break down on the road. "Well, at least you're eating good tonight." "Nope. Moose walked off."

I love how you show a moose just casually running across a lake.

I was in northern Ontario the 1st time I saw one standing in the middle of the road late at night. I was driving a tiny MG Midget and I swear I could have driven right under him if he was standing still. I couldn't believe his size! Thank goodness I saw him in time to stop the car. I was truly impressed and a little afraid!!

I learned an amazing thing about moose last time I was in Jackson Hole--my favorite place on Earth. Moose can stand out there in the snow for what seems like forever without their feet or legs ever getting frostbite. That is because their body fat never becomes the solid white lard we see in cattle (beef)--and in humans, if you were to see your insides. Their fat in unsaturated or something, and remains a warm liquid that can easily circulate. Another thing to remember about moose is the sheer power of their bodies and weird antlers. Years ago, I was standing by the back end of my Jeep in a parking area by a bridge/overpass above the river in Jackson Hole. There was a very wide path down to the river, which was blocked off so people could not fall in--the water was too cold to survive. You could walk along the path there by the river, I suppose, but it was early November, cold, not exactly pretty, right before sunset. My Shih Tzu (a tough throwback to a Tibetan Terrier) my super protective dog was barking like crazy--really going ape, and so I'd put him in the car, where he was throwing himself against the windows. I got in the car to calm him down--which it did. A second later, a huge male moose with full antlers came crashing through the plant growth between the bridge turnout and the river--small trees and giant shrubs about 12+ feet tall, so dense I could not see through them. I had not heard a thing until he was standing right where I had been a second earlier. There was the cleared path at least 10 or 15 feet wide, gravel on the ground, and nothing up by the bridge, or in the turnout parking area. No reason I could see to go up there if you are a moose. And if you insisted, you could walk up the path with no resistance. It was freezing and windy, no people but us. Yet that giant moose came crashing through the trees and brush, so densely thick it was quite a job, even for a moose. His antlers sort of cut through the branches, breaking through each and every one. It took a tall, massive creature with huge flat antlers to bust through. I say this because, should anyone visit a place with huge animals such as moose (and elk, bison--and I imagine elephants?--who are equally unpredictable, violent, impulsive--they rule their worlds, all animal testosterone)...don't stand around where you cannot see all around you without obstruction. And don't think that because a barrier is indestructible to us, it will be indestructible to them! They care nothing for damage to plants, trees...if they can destroy it, they just may choose to do so! I saw no animals. But my dog heard him, and perhaps he heard my dog (18-20 pounds, a bigger shih tzu, not happy, but uncharacteristically freaked out) and wanted to silence him? Could this moose have felt territorial there? Who knows. But it taught me never to impute human motives, human concerns into a wild animal. This huge creature towered over our Cherokee (even more than the rutting elk and running bison on the road in Yellowstone had, tho the bison would have destroyed the front end of our car had we collided. I would have been severely injured had I not stepped the 5-6' to the car and got inside. There is no explanation--just as when you see tourists in Africa encountering elephants on the roads...it's their world, stay back, stay safe, and do not trust that a giant animal who rules his road won't destroy an entire hillside to make his own path to the bridge. Their logic is unknowable, unpredictable. I've seen the females off across the meadows, just calmly eating for hours., they have never expressed the slightest interest in us. Males--do they mate in November?--apparently are not just more aggressive but absolutely wildly so. I once walked right up to a herd (?a whole lot of male moose) in a pasture-type meadow at the West Yellowstone entrance--I had never seen them b4, and wanted to take closer photos. I walked my sideways walk that fooled animals all my life and got within about 10 feet. Then, I just walked away back to the road. They watched me but continued munching. Later I learned how dumb and dangerous that had been. And one tore up a hillside to get that close to me. The ones we see that look kind of gentle, sauntering around as one did in Northern Exposure's credits (my dogs favorite thing to watch on TV besides the rodeo), are very old, perhaps sick acc to family who live where they do, usually female, not male, not antlered, not thinking of mating... Just a warning of how unpredictable and how suddenly (and silently until the last second) one might be in your face! (Sorry about the length.)

What’s most amazing about moose is that they act nothing like any other deer on the planet. They have very little- if any -of the characteristic skittishness of other deer and are more likely to bring the fight to _you_ than run away if they feel threatened.

Dad moose: I'm gonna bring the milk real quick

bro running on water

That male moose is not paying child support

I live in Vermont and yes; they’re magnificent animals! But, also very dangerous.

These are such beautiful animals

So pretty. I know they can be dangerous, but I would love to see one in it's own environment. The babies are adorable.

Bro is literally everyone's dad ..

I was driving behind an 18 wheeler in Park City when it hit a moose going around 70-80 mph and the moose literally exploded. It looked like a thousand gallon balloon was dropped from 200 feet and landed on the freeway. The moose was flat, it's rib cage was open like a birds wings and its neck was touching its back. All of its legs had compound fractures.The front of the semi was totaled. It's definitely something you don't want your kids to ever see unless you wanna pay for psychiatrists the rest of their lives. LoL

Came across a female moose last week on a nature trail I've been walking on for 7 years. This was my very first sighting of a live moose ever and she was close, imposing and I was hoping she wasn't going to see me as invading her personal space. I knew moose were big but until I saw one close-up, I had no idea just how big they really are.

I live in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Moose are one of the few wild animals that scare the shit out of me. They are NOT gentle giants. They are mean, viscous and have little to fear. They can run through chest high snow at speeds up to 45mph.

Just imagine if Santa had a bunch of Moose’s pulling his sleigh. 😂

Great explanation 👍😊

"Wow, my dad was a moose?" -someone

I never really thought about people underestimating the size of a moose. We don't have any live moose here this far south. We do have a nature museum with a stuffed one. When I was little the moose exhibit was my second favorite, next to the planetarium. The moose was the biggest animal they had. My dad used to put me on his shoulders so I could see the face. I feel sorry for Mr Moose, being stuffed like that, but I'm glad I at least got to see one.

I was snowboarding in Colorado and saw a moose for the first time in person on the side of a trail. I was shocked how big they actually are.

While visiting my daughter and family in Anchorage, I went for a walk one morning. After about a black, I rounded a corner the other side of their block and there was a young, female moose, yearling. It was late spring. I walked by where she was munching grass. She was curious and came my direction. She was beautiful and I told her so. She stopped walking, so did I, kept talking to her. She turned and walked away back to eating. It was an exhilarating encounter. She was sweet. I kept walking.

I didn't know my father was a moose

I saw a couple when I visited Yellowstone, absolute units.

I see moose all the time when I go to Alaska. I have always called them “treacherously cute”.

wow I never seen a moose come in contact with a human and giving the human being a kiss. amazing animals the males are so Majestic. thank you

Did I just see a moose running on water or is it just me?

They don't just leave after matting. They just head to the store to get some cigarettes and milk.

Living in Anchorage, AK, it was a regular sight to have moose come to my yard and eat from my trees, and sometimes they would leave some souvenirs that I would only discover when the snow melted late in the Spring. Definitely a beautiful sight!

When I lived in Montana my friends and I used to go to this natural hot springs way out in the woods. One time we were out there in the biggest pool, and you couldn't really see the surroundings all that well when you were down in the water. I stood up to grab my drink and about 20 feet away there was a bull moose just calmly grazing. It was incredible! They're magnificent creatures! You see elk and deer all the time in that part of the state-well, in most parts of the state-but seeing moose is not nearly as common. Another time my mom and I were driving home from my grandparents' ranch on a winding country highway. We came around a corner and suddenly there was a HUGE cow moose in the road about 75 feet ahead. We were able to stop in time, thank God, and then her calf came following along behind her. Growing up in Montana had a lot of drawbacks for me, but I'll always be super grateful for all the wildlife I got to see!

Those antlers are incredible ❤

Mooses are one of the most beautiful animals ever. We need to preserve this gorgeous creatures

Whats even crazier is an adult grizzly bear can break a Moose's spine with one direct strike from their paw.

Seeing a moose in the wild close to you is a life changing experience. Seeing the dude that is with you snap his fingers at it while walking towards the animal is a "get the fuck outta there" experience.

Moose are my favorite deer.

The moose has a real royal voice

Those calves ❤

They also kill unprovoked and must be taken seriously because if they see you they might decide to kill you right then and there just for fun

The Moose is magnificent and is one of the most beautiful beast on earth.

During the autumn breeding season, They not only fight over breeding rights, They also become sort of territorial and in general more cantankerous than usual. During this time they are exceptionally dangerous and kill more people than bears.

that gigantic moose running on the street and passing those vehicles always gives me chills how big they really can be

I wish you'd have mentioned how dangerous they really are tho. They can get mad aggressive and if they're on the road at night you can't see their eyes cause of how damn tall they are

Fun fact: if you feed the moose, he will attack the next person that doesn't.

What a magnificent creature.

Many decades ago I was camped in a tent trailer outside of Yellowstone by a small lake. Woke up to moose literally walking past my bed by a few inches. Incredible!

"They are excellent swimmers" no shit bro was running on water

I live in Northern Maine. We have these guys in our yard almost daily. Among other critters... we love them. From a respectful distance....lol

Attack on Titan (Forrest Edition) 🦌

God bless them all insects and animals!.........

He looks so sweet in the eyes!!!!

bro thought we wouldn't notice that jesus moose💀💀

So majestic and beughtiful❤

Such a magnificent animal.

if i saw one of those lurking around in the night i would fr think it was a skinwalker

"Hey Rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat". "Bullwinkle that trick never work!" "Grrrrrrr!" "Maybe I need to get another hat!" 😂😅🤣

Beautiful animal in his natural habitat

"But the male will leave her soon after mating, and will not help to raise the calves." Damn, thought I was a human. But all this time I've been a moose.

What a gorgeous creature!❤

A majestic beast.

They are beutiful❤

They r beautiful. That one has the longest legs. I'm surprised they don't stay together in a herd. I would love to see one in person.❤😊

I’ve never seen a moose in person but I want to, majestic asf

Love moose, give credit to my dad growing up in Alaska ❤

Thank you for posting this video.

Is that moose pullin' a ninja water walk!!

it's the running on water that impressed me the most.

Yeah when I was a kid a bull moose was like 8 inches beside our house, running towards the woods across the street. It was pretty exhilarating.

Very beautiful!!! I would say elegant. ♥️♥️♥️

GORGEOUS, I LOVE MOOSE ❤❤❤

Pulpy, Steve, and Milk Tea are the trifecta of kind, rational, no BS, but full of shade reaction channels. ❤

Mooses are powerful and beautiful.

Love these beautiful creatures!

Here in Maine, moose have kld more people than our black bears. They're extremely unpredictable & moody. If you encounter one while hiking, stay back and give it plenty of room to pass. They can go from 0-30 in seconds, and a kick in the head by their powerful legs is deadly. Never run or you may trigger a chase. Our Dad used to tell us to be ready to climb up a tree. It's your only hope if you encounter one during the rut, when they're angry and mean as hell.

My favorite animal ever!!!

You will see the moose's around Stowe Vermont it's a wonderful sight to see them out walking around they walk around like they own the place

I think they are beautiful ❤️

Beautiful!!!
