Yup. Just went to Yellowstone and that was the one I was most worried about as far as animals go. I’m just worried they will come out of nowhere and mow you down.

You don't want to know what will happen if you hit them with a vehicle.

You better swerve unless you’re driving one of these. Even then you better swerve.

Don't y'all in North America drive giant vehicles?

Imagine hitting one in a Fiat Panda.

Canadian drivers don't always have huge vehicles, and if you hit one with a vehicle it will total your car and the moose will just walk off.

I been Yellowstone three times, never even thought about them. Especially never worried about them. But Bison those guys are just waiting to mess you up.

It’s crazy how close people were getting to the bison. It’s a giant wild animal… enjoy your Darwin Award, I guess.

They are literally a aggressive animal that will and does kill people. But they look so timid and why they sell shirts and bumper stickers that say Don't pet the fluffy cows.

For me I think they remember what we did to them and that is why they fucking hate us. I seen them literally sit in the middle ot the road and glare at the drivers.

Have you gone to the Bison museum in West Yellowstone?

Didn’t go there even though we stayed in West Yellowstone, mostly because we were completely wiped out after a 9-hour day at the park. Did we miss out.

That rookie numbers got to pump the numbers up. We like to stay a week at a time. Stil can't do everything. And I have been.three years in a row. Was supposed to go this year but miss out.

The view from the top of Purple Mountain. Climb that and almost wiped out my boys in 2023.

That’s pretty! I definitely want to stay for longer next time. This year we did Glacier and Yellowstone in the same vacation, it was great but could be extended or split into two trips.

They're huge and dumb. They can trample, and did i mention how huge they are? The first time I saw one up close it was a surprise to the both of us. About shat myself.

Would you rather…:
• …encounter a moose in the water
• …encounter a great white on land

Def option 2 for me…

Well part of Moose habitat is swamps, bog, marshes, lakes, the ocean, forests, plains, scrubland.....

Two feet of jelly probably wouldn't phase them.

Sharks would have a few difficulties.

Certian types of Moose like a type of seaweed that grows at a depth that they have to dive to get at. They can swim rather well for a terrestrial animal over a ton.

I've seen footage of them swimming in rivers/lakes, but I didn't know they went in the ocean.

Actually scarier, cuz I feel like moose are way more likely to fuck you up than sharks if you take into account how often humans interact with them

Moose will attack you, but a lot of the deaths they cause are from hitting them with vehicles.

I honestly can't think of many scenarios more terrifying than this. Better hope your carrying a gun in that situation so you can take the easy way out

There is no place safe. He kills in the water and on land. A must see "Mooooose eh!" Coming soon to at least two theaters.
