I'm in the States but my home town is along the Canadian boarder. We have one goose couple that actually stays here during their breeding season. An entire plot of land near our waterfront is inaccessible while they are here. Those beasts are no joke and I feel horrible for other places that have to put up with more than one pair at a time.
welcome to New England where it happens here, too lol can you take your geese and moose back, please? the geese are asshole biters and the moose are just savagery on four hooves. Thanks!
That dude who decided to just slowly walk into their shed and lock themselves in is, quite possibly, one of the smartest people alive. The best choice when seeing a moose is a calm and collected "N O P E."
This Dude is so cool not only does he keeps people who are interested in animals engaged but with his humor people's who aren't much interested still watch the video
Speaking as a Canadian: moose really are that kind of absolute unit. My dad was a truck driver and, when I was very small, he was hauling empty trains (two trailers behind one truck) east of Sault Ste. Marie. We came around a bend doing roughly 80 kilometers an hour, and there was a large bull moose standing in the road. My dad swerved - missed the moose with the cab and the first trailer. The second trailer caught the moose by the antler. The truck's weight and momentum threw the moose about 40 feet in the air; the moose's weight threw us into a fishtail and into the ditch. The moose came down on the pavement, flat on one side. I will never forget the sound of his indignant "Hmph!" as he got up and strode majestically into the bush, leaving us to sort out our own business. That having been said, a bull moose isn't the thing I worry about most when I'm in the wilderness. What truly worries me is a cow moose, with a calf I don't see. Bull moose are accustomed to display, and will give you ample warning, the same as they would a rival bull. A cow moose with bebes has a hair's breadth between tolerating your presence and "that's far enough; time to trample a bitch."
The 2 things that are actually scary in the woods: Getting between a big mama and her kids. (Death sentence, anything that would normally flee is instead trying to kill you) And big herbivores. Predators have to hunt for their next meal so they have to do some risk/reward calculation, and generally humans are weird enough to not have enough meat on our bones to be worth the unknown threat. Herbivores don't, and instead either flee from everything or throw their immense bulk around to crysh all resistance beneath their hooves. Moose are the latter, and while they can be docile, anything that big should not be messed with. Its just like how the deadliest animal in Africa is the Hippo, even with all the big predators its the fat herbivore that is the most dangerous. (Not counting mosquitoes, malaria has killed about half of all humans to ever live)
"And failing to meet a Mooses expectations is exacly how heaven gains angels." You, sir, are a wordsmith of the highest order. I bow to your brilliance lest i be blinded and awestruck
Moose's must be Jesus but how how how how can you explain to me how they walk on water my bad run on water they must be Jesus or God like how does that mother f***** run on water
@@wolfie9672 Given how moose can swim, it's probably running fast enough to run on water combined with its feet's ability to move easily in water. Or the water in question is shallow.
@@idoitforthememes6011 as a Canadian as well, who's car was wrecked by a deer, and almost got hit by a moose going full speed my way in the dark, while my lights infront of my car was broken, so I had no way of learning that there was a moose, we better show respect, but then again, being a first nations native just means eating the moose, & deer, I must say, im truly sad that I couldn't eat the deer, and moose's meat. I could've had a feast.
Though we don't pay taxes to the geese as a young guy I had a job driving a little cart around herding geese off government property. I was paid way above minimum wage to basically chase birds by a company contracted to the government. They poop a lot and actually make lil turds instead of just bird splats so the government wanted it included in their property maintenance. At the same company during snow removal season one of our vehicles hit a moose. The truck was totaled but So was the moose. Turns out you get to keep the moose here if you hit it. We all had moose burgers after work.
On skiing holiday in Sweden a couple decades ago, I was chased by a moose in the middle of the night. Only reason I got away was because it was a very thick forest, and the moose was unable to sprint through the trees. I still have nightmares about that monster. Only thing I could see at first was 2 glowing orbs way higher up than where you'd expect the eyes of a landanimal to be, only for them to suddenly close in at an alarming speed.
"Failing to meet a moose's expectations is how heaven gains angels" I applaud your speech throughout this whole thing. Extremely well written and very funny. You're delivery was on point and I loved how you were able to sum up this 10' vegan. Thank you for the laughs and knowledge.
I'm from Sweden where we have quite a lot of moose, and during the theoretical part of getting my driving licence we were taught to always aim for the rear of the moose if one would cross the road. The reason for this is that when a moose decides to cross a road, or do anything really, they will do it, so when it crosses the road the moose will almost never turn back but instead carry on straight over the road. So by aiming at the rear of the moose you might be lucky to have the moose cross enough of the road before your reach it, therfore potentially avoiding a collision! Hope this information helps! ☺️
@@47ratsinahoodie Please do not give people idea that they might be stupid enough to try. I've already have enough problems in my life, I don't need to add "moose" to the list!
@@MrTerminator3010 I can just imagine the news in USA if mooses where there too: "Florida man dies after trying to ride a Moose and steal from the bank".
Also you're less likely to get impaled by the antlers ripping through your car! Thank you getting me to think about this. May have saved a life or two.
"But you're not coming out of there without wings and a halo." Actually you could, you'll probably just get horns, wings, and a little pointy tail. It depends.
I was raised in Newfoundland (that big island on the East Coast of Canada). Moose are a big problem there (quite literally). Growing up I remember getting a basic "survival" class on Moose (and other animals) and the lesson boiled down to: if you're in the woods, climb a tree, and if you can't climb a tree run between the trees where you think a moose would have a harder time reaching you (they're big and strong, but they're not uprooting trees, and Lord knows they can't corner as well as a human can), a Moose may be faster in a straight line but you should be more nimble among the trees than a Moose is. If you're not in the woods, seek shelter of any kind and RUN and hope and pray you get under/behind something solid before that Moose gores you or tramples you. Moose are also among the leading causes of car accidents in Newfoundland (they certainly were when I was growing up anyway). It's to such an extent that the provincial government installed Moose fences; giant 6+ foot tall steel fences along vast swaths of open highway to greatly reduce potential crossing sites for Moose, and thus accidents.
When I was a kid, my father took my brother and I fishing in a canoe, we went down a quiet river connected to the lake. The river was about thirty feet wide, we came across a baby moose which was pretty damn big in its own right, but then the mother came out of the brush and charged us only fifteen feet away. My father is a strong man hunt fish his whole life but I genuinely saw him afraid, for us of course, the damn moose was bigger then all of us and boat combined, my dad crouched paddle in hand ready to fight this monster off before it could capsize or tiny canoe, but just at the last second, no more then half a foot from us, the water got deep and the moose went under, came up swimming, trying to bite us, my dad was screaming and swinging, splashing water in its face, and eventually it turned and swam back to shore. It followed us for ten minutes honking and thrashing in bush. Oddly enough at the time I wasn't scared, trusting my father, but looking back on it now, if I was a dad with twin boys under the age of ten in a canoe being charged by a giant mother moose in a tiny river 😱 I would have sunk that boat with my own turds.
I as a Floridian consent to this comment and that quote we got gators and the Everglades are a gator vs python jurassic park at this point and yes the occasional florida man doing some crazy shit but we can vibe on that phrase
I've been blessed with being able to grow up with these incredible animals in my backyard. My childhood home sat surrounded by swampland and the moose loved it. Sometimes I'd wake up to one at my bedroom window. One in particular stuck around our area for /years/. A huge bull with fur so dark it looked black, we called him Judge. He liked to hide in the shade under the pines by the road. He blended in so well there that one time a neighbour walked right by him on her jog and she didn't see. I remember freaking out and worrying he might run at her, but he didn't.🤷 "Watch from a distance/indoors and stay the fuck away from them" was a great lesson to learn as a child
I can testify to the geese. I work on a golf course that is so considerate of wildlife (the golfers are well-heeled and they are proud of the audabon certification, and probably all watched Banbi as kids...) that the geese basically run the place, crap all over particular holes, and must be herded gently away if a goose emergency is declared. We used to have a very pissy goose that insisted on nesting on a decorative water feature, hissing at golfers if they tried to pass by in one of the busiest areas near the club house. Nobody moved her. For YEARS. Hopefully we won’t have any moose decide the welcome mat is out. Don’t laugh..we are next to the river valley, a corridor for wildlife. We had 3 dens of coyotes one year, lots of deer, and cute but destructive wild rabbits. I’m part of the horticulture department. Sigh.... People romanticize wildlife. It’s our biggest problem.
A story shared at our last fishing trip. A bunch of commercial fishermen caught a moose crossing a lake. They decided they wanted to try and drown it. They tied their boat to the antlers of the animal and attempted to tire it out and put its head underwater. Little did they know a sandbar was coming up. The moose got its legs under it and hoisted the entire boat out of the water jettisoning the occupants of the boat. The boat was found 300 feet off the shore in the bush. All humans had some kind of serious injury.
That’s what they deserved for being absolute psychos for no fucking reason. Seriously, why was their first response to seeing an animal crossing a lake to try and drown the damn thing!?
But but....why? Why would they try to do that? Were they high? I understand if they wanted to kill it for the meat because moose meat is delicious, but to drown it? Why?
There was fishing and I have been fishing since I was old enough for my car seat to be brought along. . . .so I can say that alcohol usually goes with fishing. You also need a specific hunting tag to go moose hunting and submit your name in a lotto every year. Few people get the right to hunt moose. Bet the DNR or gov't agency had a field day with that one.
As a Canadian thank you for bringing awareness to the danger that Moose pose. We would have the same population as the US if we didn't loose so many Canadians yearly to Moose attacks. We are so terrified of the Moose that we are unable to publiczie or bring media attention to these forgotten Canadians, who bravely lose their lives so that the remaining 10% of us could survive till this modern day.
I am the last of my generation. The only reason i have survived to this day is i found my late father's notes on metabolizing synthetic bull moose urine (he was a chemist) that he had completed just moments before he died. They (there were at least four i figured, by the tracks on his back) managed to take him out before he could distill it to protect himself, but, lucky for me moose aren't the best at understanding scientific nomenclature so they failed to truly understand the importance of his scratchings on the root cellar walls and thought it to be nothing more than the ramblings of a mad Canadian woodsman. I cannot blame them, for at the end he had indeed gone quite bonkers. As i lay in a tub of piss, all day, every day, i can't help but wonder if me finding it was blessing or a curse. I am alive, yes, but what kind of life is this?
My cousin lives up in Alaska and works in the hospital that the moose cow invaded. She got to see the whole visit (about 10 minutes) and was one of several people to film this. She told us that the automatic door opened when the cow got close, so she came in to scope the place out. The flowers in the lobby didn't smell tasty, so after wandering through for a bit, she just left on her own. As soon as her butt cleared the exit, Security came out of hiding (no fools there) and switched off the automatic door! Moose coming into town are an everyday thing there and they mostly deal with them by NOT dealing with them! Cousin said that one day, a bull decided that the hospital grounds were a nice place for a nap. Again, the wise Security men opted to simply keep people away till his nap was done and he left peacefully. She posts some of the best moose pictures. She even had her own picture of a bull moose running through deep snow, only he was running down the highway divider strip!

Advice from an Alaskan: If you're going to hit a moose TUCK DOWN YOUR WHOLE BODY TOWARDS THE FLOORBOARDS. DO IT. Whatever bones you break will be less than whatever the moose crushes.
@@phantomaviator1318 you'd be surprised. At 7-10 feet they roll up and into the drive compartment, crushing the glass and anything behind it. Even you.
when I was younger we had a couple whitetail bucks get stuck together. My father took out a 22 riffle and waited and took a single shot. What were two eight points both became seven points. One of the best shots I've ever seen in person.
"And failing to meet a moose's expectations is exactly how heaven gains angles" is a great line. Might change it and use it for a DnD dragon or something
Had a friend in Canada years back who used to be a truck driver cross-country. He sent me a hell of a moose video once. (Sadly, this was in the late 90s, and it took forever to download on dial-up and was too big to actually keep back then.) But anyway, one of his fellow truck drivers he sometimes worked with had pulled off the road due to a bad snow-storm (and this being Canada, you know it has to be bad to make a trucker pull over). He had taken out a camcorder and was just filming the storm and people trying to drive in it. After a few minutes of this, you see a big-@ss bull moose casually walk out onto the road on the other side of the highway, and just stand there for a couple seconds. This was right past a somewhat blind turn on the road, and the guy recording the video sets the camcorder down (still pointed at the moose), and tries to send out a warning on the CB radio to any other truckers coming down that road. Unfortunately, another big truck comes around the turn as he's giving the warning. You can see the other truck try to slow down a little bit, but with it being so sudden coming around the curve like that, and the road being covered in heavy snow, this doesn't do much. The moose just stands there and stares at the oncoming truck and doesn't move in the slightest. (It's worth noting this moose is tall enough he's basically looking the truck driver in the eye, despite this being an 18-wheeler.) As one might expect, the front of the truck basically accordions itself when it hits the moose. Completely totals it. The moose, meanwhile, just gets knocked over. Because of the size of the truck, it hit the moose broad-side in the body, instead of taking out the legs. A few moments later, the moose gets up, and I swear it just looked annoyed. Then it just trots off across the highway in the original direction it was going and into the woods on the other side. Both from the video and the guy's account, the moose did not even appear to be injured. For anyone wondering, the driver of the truck that hit the moose actually did survive. According to the guy telling the story, the truck's engine was shoved inward but thankfully was mostly under where the guy was sitting. The dashboard crumpled and pinned his legs, but most of his injuries were related to the sudden deceleration. He was pretty bashed up, but apparently made a full recovery. He supposedly refused to drive truck again after that though, and found another job. Can't say I blame him. Anyway, just wanted to share this crazy moose encounter. I'd love to hear more from anyone else if anyone wants to share.
i lived up in algonquin, a provincial park in northern ontario canada, for about 4 and a half months during the summer. my roommate, on the day i arrived. has just been in an accident with a moose. her, her friend and her friends brother all survived, her and her friend with minor injuries but her friend's brother (who was sitting in the back seat) had three cracked vertebra in his neck. their car, which has originally been a sedan, got turned into a convertable, whole roof got taken off. honestly when i saw the photos i was amazed any of them had survived. her friend ended up taking the moose head (surprise the moose didn't survive) and getting it taxidermed and last i know of it, it was hanging over his fireplace.
@@whitemoonwolf13 Nice username. ~_^ But yeah, I'm shocked the moose didn't survive too. But glad your roommate and everyone made it out okay. Small cars don't usually fair too well against moose.
@@KeyWiteWolf Odd thing moose are very weak in the neck for whatever reason. And there have multiple accounts of bears shooting bull moose head off the bodies like bowling balls.
@@Thewalliest Yeah, had it once actually. Had it in a stew. The person making the stew (an old friend's aunt) let me try a piece of the meat by itself before adding it (they cooked it part-way before putting it in the stew). They said it was a pretty tough meat, and that's why is it "better suited" for a stew. I do agree, it is a tough meat compared to the meat of say most prey animals, but it wasn't too bad. I do think she was right though about it being better in a stew. It has a strong taste, and that works great in a hearty stew. And she cooked it for a long time, so it was really tender by the time it was ready to eat. I highly recommend that kind of stew to anyone who likes a strong, rich flavor.
" Even a wolf pack would hesitate to test a healthy male Moose's ability to turn you into past tense " I have never heard anything like that before and I love it.
Kid, I love ya. I was born here in Alaska and can attest to your info. The only thing you missed was that a cow with a calf, is way meaner than any bull ever thought of being. A momma moose will stomp you into jelly if she even thinks you have intentions toward her baby. One day I was gardening and only noticed the baby moose when it was a few feet behind me. I cleared a 6' fence and ran in my neighbors back door to remove myself from the area. I barely made it. The mom that was steaming my underpants the whole way. The fence didn't really slow either of us. My neighbor didn't even blink when I came crashing through his door. Just offered me a cup of coffee and commented on how fast I could move, when properly motivated. Wish we had it on video but there's no way in hell I'm going to do a "take 2" on that.
I was driving in northern nah this past summer and nearly hit a calf in the road. Momma was NOT far behind and I really thought she was gonna charge my car. I just put it in park and waited until the left… cool experience though, if a little frightening
Crazy how a person can go from "regular Joe" to "apex human" with motivation, lol. 6' fence suddenly turns into a simple jump, a football field cleared in 10 seconds, and the poo has been crushed into diamonds lol
"Moose are just over-grown all-terrain vehicles with antlers and audacity and probably the reason Canadians are so polite: their landlords are Moose and they pay taxes to geese, you'd be humble too" Why is that so damn hilarious
Because it's true. The moose in Maine may be smaller than their Alaskan cousins, but ive seen those walking tanks shrug off large caliber bullets! And large as in .45-70 govt. And whats worse... it only made him mad!!!
As a canadian this is way to true. due to the wild fires in Canada moose have been seen running across roads and sometimes trampling people. and IF A MOOSE CAN BE 7-9 FEET TALL YO ASS NOT GONNA BE COMING OUT OF THAT WITHOUT A HOLE THREW YOUR CHEST.
Most people will hear “seven feet tall” and think “that’s only a few feet bigger than a deer!” What they should really think is “that’s only three feet shorter than an elephant.”

I'll never forget my vacation in Alaska... I was kayaking in a beautiful lake on a warm summer day. The lake was very still, no wind. All of a sudden I got this creepy uncomfortable feeling, then I saw these bubbles rising from the water. It looked like the water was boiling. Then all of a sudden a massive bull moose raises his head out of the water, he was staring right at me from about 4ft away. The water was about 11ft deep at that part of the lake and this moose was clearly standing on the bottom and his head was still about 4ft above the water.. he made this God awful growling sound and I slowly began to paddle away. It was completely unexpected, I would have never thought that a moose could be swimming below me!
@@tinytine_ My aunt slammed the door shut while sweeping me out of the way and rushing both of us into the bathtub where we hid til my uncle came home and verified the moose was gone. 😂
Alaskan here. I have literally seen a bull moose fuck up my neighbors car. The car wasn't even doing anything, just parked along the side of the road. Moose decided he didn't like the look the car was giving him and promptly smashed the front window and caved the entire roof in. Because not only are moose huge, heavy, and angry, they are also really dumb. Most large predators in the north and wilds won't mess with you if you don't mess with them because you're not worth the effort. Moose just go for it completely unprovoked.
That’s terrifying. Hope there wasn’t anyone in the car at the time. Here in NY, I’ve never seen a moose in the wild, and I’d like to keep it that way. Beautiful creatures, but no way in hell I’d go near one
I was up in lake placid and had one that would not leave my car. At the time I was driving a red vehicle and it stood next to my car not leaving it foe almost two days.
Visited my mother a while back and she was talking about this "sweet moose" that visits every now and again. As I was walking up the hill to the house (at night) it stood it's ground between me and the front gate. It was snowy and I was on a hill so even though my car wasn't far away, it might as well have been a mile. We stood and just stared at each other for a bit before it turned and just disappeared into the woods. I didn't spook it, but I also didn't see it until I heard it moving through the snow, so it likely saw me first and I could only guess it was either curious or my mother was feeding it. Turns out my sister was. Now I only go up there if I have a flashlight, good snow shoes, and clarification that the walkway has been shoveled. You think they look big in this video? Nah man, get a look at one in real life. Just, if you have the choice, view it from a safe distance.
When I was a 12 year old kid I got lured into orienteering. My parents thought it might suit me as I thought running was a boring waste of time as was just about all team sports, or cycling or anything else that might stress the cardiovascular system the least bit. Well orienteering was a lot more interesting than just running like a braindead automaton so I gave it a go. One day I was running through the forest taking the fast track to the next station. I plow through some bushes only to end up face to face with a moose. I bet there were twin furrows where I dug my heals in trying to stop as fast as fscking possible. Have anyone mentioned how large they are? To a 12 year old? At less than 3 meters (call it 10 feet)? Well, they are, huge that is. I'm not sure how long we were staring at each other, probably not nearly as long as the twenty minutes it felt like. Then it just turned away and took a few steps and was gone. That part was equally strange. This was not the worlds densest forest so I should have been able to see it for quite some distance when I saw where it headed of. It might have to do with me turning back and diving through those bushes again, but seriously they do have an uncanny ability to blend in which is even more disturbing knowing just how big they are. No that didn't make me give up orienteering, I just grew bored after a year or so when reading the map got to easy. Suddenly it was just as boring as any other kind of running, just with more swamps, sprained ankles and ticks. Lots of ticks! Never saw another moose when orienteering though I did occasionally scare some smaller deer. Seen them cross the road quite a few times though. Here is a hint. If you have moose or other deer crossing a road towards a steep slope then be very careful as it's not uncommon for them to come barreling down the slope to cross the road again.
Last summer I was up at a lake for a vacation when a mama moose and her baby were on the driveway of the house we were staying at, and, yeah, these things are fucking massive.
I lived on an acreage in high school and we had a moose up there. I saw a yearling and it stood taller than me in a slough I could still see the knees. But they are definitely huge.
What is it with vvomen and feeding wild animals? First stray cats that decimate bird populations, now moose that can decimate people. Before my grandpa got cancer, he told both my grandma and great aunt that if he caught them feeding anything other than the livestock, he'd shoot it. Now, we have a feral cat colony about 30 strong on the land, wild hogs, and coyotes running around. I've gotten rid of most of the hogs and coyotes, but the cats are like fuqing hydras.
Fun Fact. There's also always a handful of reported cases of moose suffering from a CWD (chronic wasting disease) being a menace to humans. When moose get these kinds of diseases, their neurological decline can turn them into crazed killers that have been occasionally known to stalk humans for miles and over many days. They almost start showing predatory behavior (in zoologic terms) and that's likely where the mythology of wendigos and other frightening, skeletal quadrupeds hunting humans comes from in many pre-columbian american cultures.
Yes and the disease infects everywhere they have been for decades. Think of it being a biological poison except in disease form that decided that it wanted as many dumbasses to suffer even after its original host dies. So it lingers to screw everyone over and now they have to deal with it. Isla Nublar from Jurassic Park I think had this issue from being fed sheep who were given either infected feed. Its rather a good read.
yeah can definately see how a half dead desieased moose following you in the night could lead to the wedigo myth, just picturing that in my head makes it look monstrous
The wendigo is a personification of the dangers of winter. A crazed moose would certainly add veracity to that. I read somewhere about a Native myth of a horned or antlered water monster. It had occurred to me at the time that a swimming deer, elk, or moose had inspired that form of the embodied dangers of lakes and rivers.
That's what people don't get about a large predator vs. a large prey animal. When a predator sizes you up it wants to know if you're worth the energy and possible damage for a meal, usually the answer is no. When it is a prey animal and it feels threatened it thinks it will die if it doesn't absolutely wollup you, so the answer is often to wollup you.
My dad got attacked by a whitetail doe a few years ago while he was in his side by side, thankfully it was a close cab or he would of been cut to pieces
When a carnivore attacks, it's because they're hungry. All you have to do is convince them you're not worth the effort. When an herbivore attacks, it's because they truly want you dead.
Canadian here, my mother and I got in a car accident when I was about 10 when we hit a moose--I think we slowed down to about 80km when we hit it, and it tried to jump the car. It semi-succeeded, but we literally knocked the shit out of it (got ALL over our stuff) and while it ran off into the bush, it probably died of its injuries later. My mum was totally uninjured and the worst I got was a scratch on my chin from the broken windshield glass. However, I was HELLA lucky I was a 10 year old, cuz if I was adult-sized, the caved-in top part of the windshield frame would have decapitated me. I saw pix of the car afterwards, and that metal was sunk into the passenger-side headrest 🙃. Sooooo, yeah. Super lucky!
One of my earliest memories probably around 3-4 years old is playing in our gravel driveway (kasilof AK) is playing with my fisher price wheel barrow and picking up pebbles and putting the in and heard crunching behind me, was a moose walking by, didn’t even get up just watched it walk by and go in it’s own way. Moose are often just living their life. On the other hand if they are mad they are nothing to be messed with. A pack of neighborhood dogs had attacked a female moose in the area, I was in the same driveway probably around 12 years old with our dog, made eye contact and immediately knew the vibe was not right, I ran the 100 something feet back to the house SO fast and that moose was on my tail the whole way, tried to follow me through the front door and everything. They are nothing to be messed with 👀

As an Alaskan resident I can confirm that the information in this video is very accurate and is like to add too. Don't even come close to annoying a moose (they will remember you) saw one have a 3 month grudge with my neighbor. As a side note, in North Pole Alaska we even had the joy of watching a moose fly once very cool he was very mad...duck and cover kids
As someone who had a “pet” bull moose and lived in moose country most off my life, I gotta say this is well researched except you didn’t emphasize the danger of the cow when she has a calf to protect… I might not be typing this if that tree had been ten feet further away.
Fun fact: I've been terrified of moose since I was 13 when we read Hatchet in 7th grade. The ONLY thing that I remember from that book was the fact that the kid got mauled by a mother moose while he was trying to get water from a lake. She nearly killed him and it stuck with me.
I used to know some guys who drove a lumber truck in Nova Scotia. This huge vehicle was essentially built to haul piles of felled cedar trees and it was a beast. One night they encountered a bull moose in rut who decided that it didn't want to share the road and charged them head on. They didn't have time to react as this tower of doom deer emerged from the darkness and smashed clean into their grill. The moose died, but took their front axle with it.

My great-uncle was a train engineer, and used to tell my dad stories about moose during mating season. As it turns out, a bull moose is just slightly more intelligent than dirt, and they would apparently REGULARLY pick fights with trains. Which went about as well as you'd expect for the moose. Though I suppose it did at least manage to inconvenience people, what with probably having to clear a giant corpse either off the tracks or off the front of the train.
oh no its so much worse lol, they get reduced into a mushy paste on the front, bottom, the wheels, even a few cars down get some splatter, its horrifying
Living in Alaska for over 55 years years, Moose are an everyday occurrence here. Having a moose in your driveway between your door and your car is an acceptable reason for being late to work. Nice and funny overview sir.
Moose are scary, I’ve heard plenty of tales from my grandfather. My grandparents used to have this little holiday home in the woods where they would spend their summers. They had a handful of neighbors (and I use that term lightly as all their cottages were separated by quite a large amount of forest). One of these neighbors had managed to grow a couple of apple trees, despite the soil not being the best (quite acidic from the pine trees that surrounded the area). In the end he had more apples than he knew what to do with so he just left them to rot on the ground, which meant they fermented. A bull moose found its way there, feasted on fermented apples, got drunk and wrecked havoc, as in, it stumbled into the cottage, through a wall and just messed up the whole place before stumbling back out and falling asleep under the apple trees. So yeah, moose are scary, but drunk moose are probably worse...
Bro that sounds insane. Imagine sleeping in the middle of the night, and then there's suddenly a hurricane on legs in your living room. If it's a small cottage, I'd be worried about a moose just tearing it down.
@@trent078 there’s a lot of people that can run all that well but I promise if you are running for your life you’re gonna do some shit you never thought you could do lol
Considering how dangerous a moose can be, a Megaloceras or "Irish" elk, must've been something else. At up to 1500 pounds and 6'11 at the shoulder, Megaloceras wasn't that much bigger than the largest moose, but it did pack the largest antlers of any deer at up to *12 feet across* and *88* pounds. As for the biggest deer ever, that honor goes to the broad fronted "moose", Cervalces latifrons that weighed in at 2,200 pounds but could possibly get up to 2,600 and had antlers that were only 8 feet wide. Yeah.
Yeah, those battles must've been epic. Although those antlers are a lot less impressive when you learn they're a contributing factor for why Megaloceros died out. On top of not being well suited for dense forests for obvious reason, a rack that big requires nutrients that, in a progressively cooling earth, became harder for the Meg to find.
Humans: “I swear moose now are gigantic and terrifying-“ The even larger homicidal steroid deer from the past with antlers as big as people: “You wanna see Moosaih?”
"Landlords are moose, and they pay taxes to geese."
As a Canadian, can guarantee the truth of this statement.
I'm in the States but my home town is along the Canadian boarder. We have one goose couple that actually stays here during their breeding season. An entire plot of land near our waterfront is inaccessible while they are here. Those beasts are no joke and I feel horrible for other places that have to put up with more than one pair at a time.
I second this as a Canadian

That dude who decided to just slowly walk into their shed and lock themselves in is, quite possibly, one of the smartest people alive. The best choice when seeing a moose is a calm and collected "N O P E."

Speaking as a Canadian: moose really are that kind of absolute unit.
My dad was a truck driver and, when I was very small, he was hauling empty trains (two trailers behind one truck) east of Sault Ste. Marie. We came around a bend doing roughly 80 kilometers an hour, and there was a large bull moose standing in the road. My dad swerved - missed the moose with the cab and the first trailer. The second trailer caught the moose by the antler. The truck's weight and momentum threw the moose about 40 feet in the air; the moose's weight threw us into a fishtail and into the ditch.
The moose came down on the pavement, flat on one side. I will never forget the sound of his indignant "Hmph!" as he got up and strode majestically into the bush, leaving us to sort out our own business.
That having been said, a bull moose isn't the thing I worry about most when I'm in the wilderness. What truly worries me is a cow moose, with a calf I don't see. Bull moose are accustomed to display, and will give you ample warning, the same as they would a rival bull. A cow moose with bebes has a hair's breadth between tolerating your presence and "that's far enough; time to trample a bitch."
The 2 things that are actually scary in the woods:
Getting between a big mama and her kids. (Death sentence, anything that would normally flee is instead trying to kill you)
And big herbivores. Predators have to hunt for their next meal so they have to do some risk/reward calculation, and generally humans are weird enough to not have enough meat on our bones to be worth the unknown threat. Herbivores don't, and instead either flee from everything or throw their immense bulk around to crysh all resistance beneath their hooves. Moose are the latter, and while they can be docile, anything that big should not be messed with.
Its just like how the deadliest animal in Africa is the Hippo, even with all the big predators its the fat herbivore that is the most dangerous. (Not counting mosquitoes, malaria has killed about half of all humans to ever live)

Though we don't pay taxes to the geese as a young guy I had a job driving a little cart around herding geese off government property. I was paid way above minimum wage to basically chase birds by a company contracted to the government. They poop a lot and actually make lil turds instead of just bird splats so the government wanted it included in their property maintenance. At the same company during snow removal season one of our vehicles hit a moose. The truck was totaled but So was the moose. Turns out you get to keep the moose here if you hit it. We all had moose burgers after work.

On skiing holiday in Sweden a couple decades ago, I was chased by a moose in the middle of the night. Only reason I got away was because it was a very thick forest, and the moose was unable to sprint through the trees.
I still have nightmares about that monster. Only thing I could see at first was 2 glowing orbs way higher up than where you'd expect the eyes of a landanimal to be, only for them to suddenly close in at an alarming speed.

"Failing to meet a moose's expectations is how heaven gains angels" I applaud your speech throughout this whole thing. Extremely well written and very funny. You're delivery was on point and I loved how you were able to sum up this 10' vegan. Thank you for the laughs and knowledge.
I'm from Sweden where we have quite a lot of moose, and during the theoretical part of getting my driving licence we were taught to always aim for the rear of the moose if one would cross the road. The reason for this is that when a moose decides to cross a road, or do anything really, they will do it, so when it crosses the road the moose will almost never turn back but instead carry on straight over the road. So by aiming at the rear of the moose you might be lucky to have the moose cross enough of the road before your reach it, therfore potentially avoiding a collision! Hope this information helps! ☺️

I was raised in Newfoundland (that big island on the East Coast of Canada). Moose are a big problem there (quite literally). Growing up I remember getting a basic "survival" class on Moose (and other animals) and the lesson boiled down to: if you're in the woods, climb a tree, and if you can't climb a tree run between the trees where you think a moose would have a harder time reaching you (they're big and strong, but they're not uprooting trees, and Lord knows they can't corner as well as a human can), a Moose may be faster in a straight line but you should be more nimble among the trees than a Moose is. If you're not in the woods, seek shelter of any kind and RUN and hope and pray you get under/behind something solid before that Moose gores you or tramples you.
Moose are also among the leading causes of car accidents in Newfoundland (they certainly were when I was growing up anyway). It's to such an extent that the provincial government installed Moose fences; giant 6+ foot tall steel fences along vast swaths of open highway to greatly reduce potential crossing sites for Moose, and thus accidents.
We Newfies also EAT them, to be fair. Moose stew, sausage and roast were always on my table growing-up.
@@doubledouble4g379 Also true. But amongst wild game Moose are up there with bears for potential danger if you're not careful.
@@JM64 Never said we weren't crazy - we drink alcohol out of a fish, eh?
When I was a kid, my father took my brother and I fishing in a canoe, we went down a quiet river connected to the lake. The river was about thirty feet wide, we came across a baby moose which was pretty damn big in its own right, but then the mother came out of the brush and charged us only fifteen feet away. My father is a strong man hunt fish his whole life but I genuinely saw him afraid, for us of course, the damn moose was bigger then all of us and boat combined, my dad crouched paddle in hand ready to fight this monster off before it could capsize or tiny canoe, but just at the last second, no more then half a foot from us, the water got deep and the moose went under, came up swimming, trying to bite us, my dad was screaming and swinging, splashing water in its face, and eventually it turned and swam back to shore. It followed us for ten minutes honking and thrashing in bush.
Oddly enough at the time I wasn't scared, trusting my father, but looking back on it now, if I was a dad with twin boys under the age of ten in a canoe being charged by a giant mother moose in a tiny river 😱 I would have sunk that boat with my own turds.

I've been blessed with being able to grow up with these incredible animals in my backyard. My childhood home sat surrounded by swampland and the moose loved it. Sometimes I'd wake up to one at my bedroom window. One in particular stuck around our area for /years/. A huge bull with fur so dark it looked black, we called him Judge. He liked to hide in the shade under the pines by the road. He blended in so well there that one time a neighbour walked right by him on her jog and she didn't see. I remember freaking out and worrying he might run at her, but he didn't.🤷

Ah yes...those white knights of winter...true royalty.
I can testify to the geese. I work on a golf course that is so considerate of wildlife (the golfers are well-heeled and they are proud of the audabon certification, and probably all watched Banbi as kids...) that the geese basically run the place, crap all over particular holes, and must be herded gently away if a goose emergency is declared. We used to have a very pissy goose that insisted on nesting on a decorative water feature, hissing at golfers if they tried to pass by in one of the busiest areas near the club house. Nobody moved her. For YEARS.
Hopefully we won’t have any moose decide the welcome mat is out. Don’t laugh..we are next to the river valley, a corridor for wildlife.

A story shared at our last fishing trip. A bunch of commercial fishermen caught a moose crossing a lake. They decided they wanted to try and drown it. They tied their boat to the antlers of the animal and attempted to tire it out and put its head underwater. Little did they know a sandbar was coming up. The moose got its legs under it and hoisted the entire boat out of the water jettisoning the occupants of the boat. The boat was found 300 feet off the shore in the bush. All humans had some kind of serious injury.
In a Kim Kardashian voice, “It’s what they deserved.” Followed by an evil smile. 😈
That’s what they deserved for being absolute psychos for no fucking reason.
Seriously, why was their first response to seeing an animal crossing a lake to try and drown the damn thing!?

The flowers in the lobby didn't smell tasty, so after wandering through for a bit, she just left on her own. As soon as her butt cleared the exit, Security came out of hiding (no fools there) and switched off the automatic door! Moose coming into town are an everyday thing there and they mostly deal with them by NOT dealing with them!

Had a friend in Canada years back who used to be a truck driver cross-country. He sent me a hell of a moose video once. (Sadly, this was in the late 90s, and it took forever to download on dial-up and was too big to actually keep back then.)
But anyway, one of his fellow truck drivers he sometimes worked with had pulled off the road due to a bad snow-storm (and this being Canada, you know it has to be bad to make a trucker pull over). He had taken out a camcorder and was just filming the storm and people trying to drive in it. After a few minutes of this, you see a big-@ss bull moose casually walk out onto the road on the other side of the highway, and just stand there for a couple seconds. This was right past a somewhat blind turn on the road, and the guy recording the video sets the camcorder down (still pointed at the moose), and tries to send out a warning on the CB radio to any other truckers coming down that road. Unfortunately, another big truck comes around the turn as he's giving the warning. You can see the other truck try to slow down a little bit, but with it being so sudden coming around the curve like that, and the road being covered in heavy snow, this doesn't do much. The moose just stands there and stares at the oncoming truck and doesn't move in the slightest. (It's worth noting this moose is tall enough he's basically looking the truck driver in the eye, despite this being an 18-wheeler.) As one might expect, the front of the truck basically accordions itself when it hits the moose. Completely totals it. The moose, meanwhile, just gets knocked over. Because of the size of the truck, it hit the moose broad-side in the body, instead of taking out the legs. A few moments later, the moose gets up, and I swear it just looked annoyed. Then it just trots off across the highway in the original direction it was going and into the woods on the other side. Both from the video and the guy's account, the moose did not even appear to be injured.
For anyone wondering, the driver of the truck that hit the moose actually did survive. According to the guy telling the story, the truck's engine was shoved inward but thankfully was mostly under where the guy was sitting. The dashboard crumpled and pinned his legs, but most of his injuries were related to the sudden deceleration. He was pretty bashed up, but apparently made a full recovery. He supposedly refused to drive truck again after that though, and found another job. Can't say I blame him.
Anyway, just wanted to share this crazy moose encounter.
I'd love to hear more from anyone else if anyone wants to share.
i lived up in algonquin, a provincial park in northern ontario canada, for about 4 and a half months during the summer. my roommate, on the day i arrived. has just been in an accident with a moose. her, her friend and her friends brother all survived, her and her friend with minor injuries but her friend's brother (who was sitting in the back seat) had three cracked vertebra in his neck. their car, which has originally been a sedan, got turned into a convertable, whole roof got taken off. honestly when i saw the photos i was amazed any of them had survived. her friend ended up taking the moose head (surprise the moose didn't survive) and getting it taxidermed and last i know of it, it was hanging over his fireplace.
@@whitemoonwolf13 Nice username. ~_^
But yeah, I'm shocked the moose didn't survive too. But glad your roommate and everyone made it out okay. Small cars don't usually fair too well against moose.
@@KeyWiteWolf Odd thing moose are very weak in the neck for whatever reason. And there have multiple accounts of bears shooting bull moose head off the bodies like bowling balls.
Ok off topic but have you ever had bear meat? You would think it would be too tough but that stuff is amazing.
@@Thewalliest Yeah, had it once actually. Had it in a stew. The person making the stew (an old friend's aunt) let me try a piece of the meat by itself before adding it (they cooked it part-way before putting it in the stew). They said it was a pretty tough meat, and that's why is it "better suited" for a stew. I do agree, it is a tough meat compared to the meat of say most prey animals, but it wasn't too bad. I do think she was right though about it being better in a stew. It has a strong taste, and that works great in a hearty stew. And she cooked it for a long time, so it was really tender by the time it was ready to eat. I highly recommend that kind of stew to anyone who likes a strong, rich flavor.

Kid, I love ya. I was born here in Alaska and can attest to your info. The only thing you missed was that a cow with a calf, is way meaner than any bull ever thought of being. A momma moose will stomp you into jelly if she even thinks you have intentions toward her baby. One day I was gardening and only noticed the baby moose when it was a few feet behind me. I cleared a 6' fence and ran in my neighbors back door to remove myself from the area. I barely made it. The mom that was steaming my underpants the whole way. The fence didn't really slow either of us. My neighbor didn't even blink when I came crashing through his door. Just offered me a cup of coffee and commented on how fast I could move, when properly motivated. Wish we had it on video but there's no way in hell I'm going to do a "take 2" on that.
You created the perfect visual, gave me some chuckles lol
Omg lmaoo 🤣😂🤣 I dig your style of narration. It sounds like it's straight out of a children's book in the 1900s.
I was driving in northern nah this past summer and nearly hit a calf in the road. Momma was NOT far behind and I really thought she was gonna charge my car. I just put it in park and waited until the left… cool experience though, if a little frightening
Crazy how a person can go from "regular Joe" to "apex human" with motivation, lol. 6' fence suddenly turns into a simple jump, a football field cleared in 10 seconds, and the poo has been crushed into diamonds lol

I'll never forget my vacation in Alaska... I was kayaking in a beautiful lake on a warm summer day. The lake was very still, no wind. All of a sudden I got this creepy uncomfortable feeling, then I saw these bubbles rising from the water. It looked like the water was boiling. Then all of a sudden a massive bull moose raises his head out of the water, he was staring right at me from about 4ft away. The water was about 11ft deep at that part of the lake and this moose was clearly standing on the bottom and his head was still about 4ft above the water.. he made this God awful growling sound and I slowly began to paddle away. It was completely unexpected, I would have never thought that a moose could be swimming below me!

“...and failing to meet a moose’s expectations is exactly how heaven gains angels.” I can’t!!!
Alaskan here. I have literally seen a bull moose fuck up my neighbors car. The car wasn't even doing anything, just parked along the side of the road. Moose decided he didn't like the look the car was giving him and promptly smashed the front window and caved the entire roof in. Because not only are moose huge, heavy, and angry, they are also really dumb. Most large predators in the north and wilds won't mess with you if you don't mess with them because you're not worth the effort. Moose just go for it completely unprovoked.
That’s terrifying. Hope there wasn’t anyone in the car at the time. Here in NY, I’ve never seen a moose in the wild, and I’d like to keep it that way. Beautiful creatures, but no way in hell I’d go near one

Visited my mother a while back and she was talking about this "sweet moose" that visits every now and again. As I was walking up the hill to the house (at night) it stood it's ground between me and the front gate. It was snowy and I was on a hill so even though my car wasn't far away, it might as well have been a mile. We stood and just stared at each other for a bit before it turned and just disappeared into the woods. I didn't spook it, but I also didn't see it until I heard it moving through the snow, so it likely saw me first and I could only guess it was either curious or my mother was feeding it. Turns out my sister was. Now I only go up there if I have a flashlight, good snow shoes, and clarification that the walkway has been shoveled. You think they look big in this video? Nah man, get a look at one in real life. Just, if you have the choice, view it from a safe distance.
yes yes they are.
When I was a 12 year old kid I got lured into orienteering. My parents thought it might suit me as I thought running was a boring waste of time as was just about all team sports, or cycling or anything else that might stress the cardiovascular system the least bit. Well orienteering was a lot more interesting than just running like a braindead automaton so I gave it a go. One day I was running through the forest taking the fast track to the next station. I plow through some bushes only to end up face to face with a moose. I bet there were twin furrows where I dug my heals in trying to stop as fast as fscking possible. Have anyone mentioned how large they are? To a 12 year old? At less than 3 meters (call it 10 feet)? Well, they are, huge that is.
I'm not sure how long we were staring at each other, probably not nearly as long as the twenty minutes it felt like. Then it just turned away and took a few steps and was gone. That part was equally strange. This was not the worlds densest forest so I should have been able to see it for quite some distance when I saw where it headed of. It might have to do with me turning back and diving through those bushes again, but seriously they do have an uncanny ability to blend in which is even more disturbing knowing just how big they are.
No that didn't make me give up orienteering, I just grew bored after a year or so when reading the map got to easy. Suddenly it was just as boring as any other kind of running, just with more swamps, sprained ankles and ticks. Lots of ticks!
Never saw another moose when orienteering though I did occasionally scare some smaller deer. Seen them cross the road quite a few times though.
Here is a hint. If you have moose or other deer crossing a road towards a steep slope then be very careful as it's not uncommon for them to come barreling down the slope to cross the road again.
Last summer I was up at a lake for a vacation when a mama moose and her baby were on the driveway of the house we were staying at, and, yeah, these things are fucking massive.
I lived on an acreage in high school and we had a moose up there. I saw a yearling and it stood taller than me in a slough I could still see the knees. But they are definitely huge.
What is it with vvomen and feeding wild animals? First stray cats that decimate bird populations, now moose that can decimate people. Before my grandpa got cancer, he told both my grandma and great aunt that if he caught them feeding anything other than the livestock, he'd shoot it. Now, we have a feral cat colony about 30 strong on the land, wild hogs, and coyotes running around. I've gotten rid of most of the hogs and coyotes, but the cats are like fuqing hydras.
Fun Fact. There's also always a handful of reported cases of moose suffering from a CWD (chronic wasting disease) being a menace to humans. When moose get these kinds of diseases, their neurological decline can turn them into crazed killers that have been occasionally known to stalk humans for miles and over many days. They almost start showing predatory behavior (in zoologic terms) and that's likely where the mythology of wendigos and other frightening, skeletal quadrupeds hunting humans comes from in many pre-columbian american cultures.
Fck that sounds like some seriously scary shit after hearing enough tales of moose weirdly following individuals for no logical reason 😳
Yes and the disease infects everywhere they have been for decades. Think of it being a biological poison except in disease form that decided that it wanted as many dumbasses to suffer even after its original host dies. So it lingers to screw everyone over and now they have to deal with it. Isla Nublar from Jurassic Park I think had this issue from being fed sheep who were given either infected feed. Its rather a good read.
yeah can definately see how a half dead desieased moose following you in the night could lead to the wedigo myth, just picturing that in my head makes it look monstrous
Bears are worse when their teeth rot out.
The wendigo is a personification of the dangers of winter. A crazed moose would certainly add veracity to that.
I read somewhere about a Native myth of a horned or antlered water monster. It had occurred to me at the time that a swimming deer, elk, or moose had inspired that form of the embodied dangers of lakes and rivers.

Excellent report. You did leave out their un-holy alliance with flying squirrels.
AH yes, more videos on why moose are highly underestimated. Up until a few months ago, I didn't know how big moose really were, now I wish I didn't.
That's what people don't get about a large predator vs. a large prey animal. When a predator sizes you up it wants to know if you're worth the energy and possible damage for a meal, usually the answer is no. When it is a prey animal and it feels threatened it thinks it will die if it doesn't absolutely wollup you, so the answer is often to wollup you.
it's smart to fear herbivores more than predators if you get too close one, one will try to test you and the other will aim to kill or severely wound
My dad got attacked by a whitetail doe a few years ago while he was in his side by side, thankfully it was a close cab or he would of been cut to pieces
@@breadtoast1036 Fear Fight Predators (ie too big that Flight doesn't work), don't fear Flight predators because they will run away.

Fear the tiger, not the cougar.
When a carnivore attacks, it's because they're hungry. All you have to do is convince them you're not worth the effort. When an herbivore attacks, it's because they truly want you dead.
Canadian here, my mother and I got in a car accident when I was about 10 when we hit a moose--I think we slowed down to about 80km when we hit it, and it tried to jump the car. It semi-succeeded, but we literally knocked the shit out of it (got ALL over our stuff) and while it ran off into the bush, it probably died of its injuries later.
My mum was totally uninjured and the worst I got was a scratch on my chin from the broken windshield glass.
However, I was HELLA lucky I was a 10 year old, cuz if I was adult-sized, the caved-in top part of the windshield frame would have decapitated me. I saw pix of the car afterwards, and that metal was sunk into the passenger-side headrest 🙃.
Sooooo, yeah. Super lucky!

@@nicoleviolette1252 Thanks man! I still occasionally see them at the side of the road, but I've never hit one since so I call that a win 😎✌️
One of my earliest memories probably around 3-4 years old is playing in our gravel driveway (kasilof AK) is playing with my fisher price wheel barrow and picking up pebbles and putting the in and heard crunching behind me, was a moose walking by, didn’t even get up just watched it walk by and go in it’s own way. Moose are often just living their life.
On the other hand if they are mad they are nothing to be messed with. A pack of neighborhood dogs had attacked a female moose in the area, I was in the same driveway probably around 12 years old with our dog, made eye contact and immediately knew the vibe was not right, I ran the 100 something feet back to the house SO fast and that moose was on my tail the whole way, tried to follow me through the front door and everything. They are nothing to be messed with 👀

My great-uncle was a train engineer, and used to tell my dad stories about moose during mating season. As it turns out, a bull moose is just slightly more intelligent than dirt, and they would apparently REGULARLY pick fights with trains. Which went about as well as you'd expect for the moose. Though I suppose it did at least manage to inconvenience people, what with probably having to clear a giant corpse either off the tracks or off the front of the train.
oh no its so much worse lol, they get reduced into a mushy paste on the front, bottom, the wheels, even a few cars down get some splatter, its horrifying

Living in Alaska for over 55 years years, Moose are an everyday occurrence here. Having a moose in your driveway between your door and your car is an acceptable reason for being late to work. Nice and funny overview sir.
at this point its pretty much my catch phrase as a zoologist "don't feed the animals not cause they might die cause you will"
Moose are scary, I’ve heard plenty of tales from my grandfather.
My grandparents used to have this little holiday home in the woods where they would spend their summers. They had a handful of neighbors (and I use that term lightly as all their cottages were separated by quite a large amount of forest). One of these neighbors had managed to grow a couple of apple trees, despite the soil not being the best (quite acidic from the pine trees that surrounded the area). In the end he had more apples than he knew what to do with so he just left them to rot on the ground, which meant they fermented. A bull moose found its way there, feasted on fermented apples, got drunk and wrecked havoc, as in, it stumbled into the cottage, through a wall and just messed up the whole place before stumbling back out and falling asleep under the apple trees. So yeah, moose are scary, but drunk moose are probably worse...
Yo dude that's cool and all or I'm sorry that happened but I ain't reading that
Bro that sounds insane. Imagine sleeping in the middle of the night, and then there's suddenly a hurricane on legs in your living room. If it's a small cottage, I'd be worried about a moose just tearing it down.

Considering how dangerous a moose can be, a Megaloceras or "Irish" elk, must've been something else. At up to 1500 pounds and 6'11 at the shoulder, Megaloceras wasn't that much bigger than the largest moose, but it did pack the largest antlers of any deer at up to *12 feet across* and *88* pounds. As for the biggest deer ever, that honor goes to the broad fronted "moose", Cervalces latifrons that weighed in at 2,200 pounds but could possibly get up to 2,600 and had antlers that were only 8 feet wide. Yeah.
Worthless that's what it was
Yeah, those battles must've been epic. Although those antlers are a lot less impressive when you learn they're a contributing factor for why Megaloceros died out.
On top of not being well suited for dense forests for obvious reason, a rack that big requires nutrients that, in a progressively cooling earth, became harder for the Meg to find.
Humans: “I swear moose now are gigantic and terrifying-“
The even larger homicidal steroid deer from the past with antlers as big as people: “You wanna see Moosaih?”
the megaloceros were just hunted down by early humans
