    Male moose are called Bulls and females are called Cows and baby moose are calves. Moose are usually pretty timid or calm but are very aggressive during mating and rutting season. Males are obviously more aggressive but cows with calves can be too. Growing up in Newfoundland the worst is when people hit them with their cars on the highway. Its like hitting a brick wall. They can total your car.

      Hitting an adult bull moose at speed is essentially like driving into a parked car that's sitting on 3-foot-tall stilts. The initial impact takes out the stilts, and the ~1.5T mass of the moose then falls on the front half of your vehicle. This has literally killed people, moose collisions are dead serious. Even large vehicles like big rigs and highway buses will take catastrophic damage.

  • @ranmyaku4381

      Moose love water and spend a lot of time grazing on water grasses in ponds and rivers. Moose are strong swimmers. The first moose I ever encountered was in northern Ontario while fishing and we met the big bull in the middle of the lake, about 3 miles from shore. Water is great to cool off on a hot summer day and probably feels really good when your body is covered in mosquito bites.

    People in Canada who have pools or ponds in their backyard know full well how many animals show up to use them in the summertime. Heatstroke is a bitchhhhh and the animals need relief too. 👌 Even here in the city, I don't get moose or bears in my yard, but I have put out buckets of water for squirrels and birds during the heatwaves when I'd see them sprawling out on the ground to get cool.

  • @kayecastleman6353
    @kayecastleman6353 11 месяцев назад +29

    Moose, like most herbivores, tend to be gentle animals. They aren't predators, sp they don't exhibit predatory behaviour. However, like the famed Canada goose, moose can become aggressive during certain seasons. Be very wary of bull (male) moose during the fall rutting season, and cow (female) moose during the spring when they have calves with them. This is pretty standard behaviour for most animals of the deer family like elk, cariboo, etc., but as you said, moose are so big that they can do a lot of damage when they're feeling ornery. Bull moose lose their antlers after the rut, and then grow new, velvet-covered ones in the spring, just like deer. And like deer, cow moose do not have antlers. Also, I'm pretty sure moose are not exclusive to Canada, though they do thrive in cooler climates.

    Depending on where you are in Canada (or maybe northern Maine and Vermont) moose are definately around, but outside of the rut season (late October to mid December) they behave much like big deer who like water a lot. It's never a good idea to approach them, since the big ones weigh 1500 pounds, and spooking anything that big, won't go well for you. However, during the rut, the male (bull) moose become quite agressive, and us Canadians all have stories of people who had bad days with a mad moose. My favourite is the legend of the OPP officer called to a highway being blocked by a big bull standing right in the middle of the Trans-Canada highway up between North Bay and Sudbury. The cop thought it'd be a good idea to just roll his cruiser up to the moose, and hit his siren to "scare" the moose off the road. (Must have been a city boy) The moose didn't move as the cop car approached, but didn't appreaciate the siren. So the moose walked away, right over the cruiser. The effect if near two thousand pounds directed thru four hooves the size of pie plates on the cruiser resulted in a very flat cop car, and one ruined pair of police uniform pants.

      If it is that close, it is probably used to human activity. Best to avoid it, but treat with caution. At dark headlights will blind a moose, and then they feel threatened, and may attack. Best to back off, quietly, turn off any lights, and leave slowly. Especially if there are youngsters about. A threatened moose is a dangerous animal. At night, turn off headlights. If they can't see you they feel threatened. Generally treat them as dangerous give them room.

    Bull moose are male moose. The males can be very aggressive in mating season especially. The males have antlers and shed them every year before growing new ones. As to the deer thing. Moose are a type of deer. We have 3 moose wintering in our yard. The mom winters here every year, and she brings her yearling. They have no concerns with our dog. In fact, they often sleep in our dog run. The yearlings like to watch the school but pick up my kids. They are not interested in us and do not bother us as long as we do not bother them. They will ofter watch me work in the yard, snowplowing, mowing, fixing sheds. The only real issue is that they like to eat our garden plants. They really are gentle giants and are very much not interested in you in the least. If you were to try interact with them, then they would become startled and can then become aggressive. Keeping your distance and if they want to interact with you, that is a different story, but for the most part, stay clear and watch from a distance. Moose are really cool.😊

    I'm from rural northern BC. I remember one time riding being about 12 and we turned down a cutline and the horses refused to move, ears forward. After a couple second, GIANT antlers came up about 3 feet from the lead horse's nose. That's the only time I've ever stared one down. It's amazing how something so big can completely hide.
    Another time, a cow tried to kill our dog. It's calf was startled by us along the river and she came out looking for a fight. Pup was tied up for some stupid reason so when we scattered she was the only one left. It stomped a lot while we all tried to scare it away. Eventually it left in a huff with its calf. Luckily pup was able to make herself small enough to avoid all impacts. That was also the last time pup was ever tied up.

Super tame and I got to feed a 2 month old calf named Potter. They are smaller than our Canadian swamp donkeys. The biggest and blackest moose I've ever seen was a cow and calf on the Alaskan Hwy.

    moose fact : As a calf, they are born weighing at around 30lbs-40lbs and already stand over a meter tall! They are massive creatures right from the get-go in life. Continuing into adulthood, the average adult moose weighs anywhere between 800lbs-1,600lbs, males average out larger than that of female moose. They stand roughly 6 feet tall from the ground to their shoulders, their head towering another 2-3 feet above.

    The first clip... That moose could just as well have been a mom and her calf is her only concern. She will go after anyone who may get near. The kids loved one winter week years ago when a mama and her twins set up housekeeping along our driveway. There is no deep snow there to trudge through, and there are plenty of willow branches to eat along it. Crow! The kids missed two days of school because she tried to attack them when they attempted to walk up the drive to the school bus. They loved it! It was like 2 snow days, that they rarely got. Only if it was too cold for the drivers to start the buses. About -42C. On the 3rd day, I was late to work, so I could drive them up to the top of the drive and sit and wait for the school bus. On the fourth day, I gave in and brought a round bail into the front corral, opened the south gate, and let them have at it. They stayed away from the drive and didn't eat any more than a couple horses would.

    Thanks Tyler for the bot explanation. I must have received about a half dozen supposed replies from you stating that I had won a prize and all I had to do was send you a telegram message to claim these prizes. I don't have Telegram and so I never tried to claim them. (PS I believe Telegram is what the Chinese government uses, at least so I have read). I must confess that I actually got a proud Canadian ego boost every time the bot, with your picture, said "Hey Dude, you won a prize". I thought I was being so witty in my comments that you were sending me prizes daily. Now that I positively know my prizes are fantasies, my humble Canadian ego has taken another blow. But, rest assured, whether it be worthy of a prize or not, I will continue to write even if it is only the bot that likes my comments. I enjoy your shows Tyler and I laugh at most of your corny jokes. Have a great day.

    Moose are quite common in Canada, but with the same sort of pattern as Coyotes in the USA. There are small cities where Moose live, but they MOSTLY don't live where MOST people live.
    Picture a deer/horse on stilts. They love to swim, and live in swampy places often. They also (like horses) have the bite strength to rip plants out by the roots, so if a moose doesn't like your nose scritches they can tear off the muscle from your arm But then they spit it out 'cause they're herbivores.

    I feel the need to share some info of what the practice was while working at an Indigenous school. The Indigenous people use every part of the animal to honor its life and its contribution to them. That being said, they also use the snout to make moose-nose soup, which is used for traditional pipe ceremonies. It consists of rice raisins and Moose nose. I actually watched the saw off the snout, burn all the hair off then boil it. As I boiling they pull it out now and then to scrape the meat out of the snout. Honestly it smells as bad as it sounds and I never tasted it because it was only for those participating in the pipe ceremony, which was usually elders in the community.

We had just grappled our way though an area on top of the brush and not touching the ground ( it was pretty neat) between two rocky humps which makes up the island , and were up on a rock above the scrubby bush when we heard a loud brush breaking noises. A huge moose came crashing through bellow us. All we saw was his back. It gives you an idea on how powerful they are. When we went through that brush we were actually walking on branches three feet above the ground for about 50 feet across. This moose was on the ground and it was running full tilt through the same stuff we were walking on.

    For most of the year, moose are normally quite docile unless they feel threatened. When the males are in rutt or when the females have newborns, they can become quite dangerous. They kill a lot of humans, but the majority of those fatalities are from people hitting them with their vehicles on the highway.
