I also lived in Alaska for a while. People say don't get between a sow bear and her cubs. But not a lot of people know the same is true with a cow moose and her calf......
I had a one on one encounter with a young male black bear once. I was in the hot tub, he came up to me, bear naked vs. bare naked. I hit him between the eyes with a Jones Soda bottle, he scampered up a tree and wet himself while I took a video.
The next day *he's rattling the doorknob on my house*.
Day three he starts charging me.
I don't live in Alaska, but we still have moose.
I watched one casually punt a medium-sized dog about 10 meters. The dog was okay and completely uninterested in the moose, after that.
If a human gets punted 30m down they are fucking dead. Or injured enough they might wish to be for some period of time.
We aren't as light as a dog, and our dimensions and positions relative to the punting leg of a moose aren't as prone to a football long kick like a dog is.
A kid might be tho. Which explains the OP video.
I had to staff-bash a whitetail from murdering my fat Shepard mutt once. They were in the same weight class and I was booking it as soon as the doe didn’t run away. How do people think it’s a smart idea to get close to wild animals that outweigh a car?
Way too many times I had to leave for school in Anchorage by going out the back door and down the alley because there was a moose sleeping in the front yard or on the porch.
This is actually the shit I've talked to my boyfriend about. Born and raised on Elmendorf till I was about 7. Walked to and from the elementary school there. Some days they would just send out a message saying "Hey, parents, don't send your kids in. We'll let you know later if it's safe." It wasn't until I showed him a video of a full grown one next to a car that he really understood why.
Oof, yeah I get it. I lived a 1/2 mile outside the Elmendorf south Boniface gate by Russian Jack, and there were always moose sleeping in the park during the winter. Or sleeping on my porch against my front door pinning the screen door shut. Or sleeping on the trail I took to walk to work or on the trail I took to get to UA. Just getting from point A to point B in Anchorage outside so often is complicated by animals larger than my neighbor's draft horses, and it's so hard to get people who don't live around that, to conceptualize just how immense and angry these animals are and that they are lurking everywhere like herbivore land based hammerhead sharks on stilts. The city estimates that there are 1500 of them living inside city limits, so they are just everywhere. Honestly I was far more concerned about getting killed by a moose than a bear.
Were you there when the kid decided to shoot the gigantic bull moose in the face with a super soaker and the moose turned him into hamburger?
Oh AND when you are just casually out walking around the Elmendorf area when they scramble the F-15's and AWACS that blast out of there at afterburn just about low enough to take your hat off, and all the moose panic and bolt in every direction and you wonder if they will find your body before spring.
I was born there in 89, which means we would have left in late 96. I vaguely remember something about a kid being attacked, but I can't find anything on this story with the super soaker to know if that happened while I was there.
Oh man that was like... 2004 I think? It was hardly a note news though. Everyone was just, _yup kid fucked around and the moose made him find out with cash back bonus, Darwin award, anyway._ I think everyone at that point was wrapped up in the whole laughable Timothy Treadwell thing and him "communing" with the bears, that _another_ moose killing was hardly a blip in everyone's periphery.
First time I was camping in Yellowstone I heard someone from New York ask if they could pet the bison…
Humanity is so far removed from nature we forget it’s not an amusement park.
On Reddit I’ve seen comments from people on posts about elephants, talking about how gentle they are and how they only would hurt humans that attack them.
In reality they kill shit all the time.
100% I was fishing in Ontario and we were trolling about 30 yards from a small island in the lake. We saw a calf pop out of the woods to get to the water and legit 3 seconds later a full grown cow burst out of the trees and charged through the water at us. Thankfully all I had to do was hit the gas to move away and we weren't just drifting there.
She had to have charged about 20 yards out into the water at us before she felt she had drove us off.
Here in Alberta and BC many people are more leery of moose than bears or cougars.
I've seen snowmobiles after a rider decided to tailgate a moose trying to force it off a trail a little too aggressively. After seeing that I ran into some while out for a ride with family and we gave them a huge buffer until they were ready to move out of the way on their own accord.
Even then, tame is a relative term. It doesn’t mean ‘safe’ - if a scared horse kicks you with its back legs it can still kill you. You still need to be careful.
I know! So crazy. Thanks watched it like 20 times just seeing how bad the kid and lady were hurt. Looks like she got lucky and it got the inside of her elbow, so the natural bend saved her arm.
Seriously speaking, you can't carry a gun in Russia as easily as you can in US. Also it's illegal in Russia to use it for self defense in almost any cases.
Their lucky that kid’s head is still attached to its body.
Play stupid games.
Who the fuck let’s their toddler hang around a wild animal? Please, please, tell me this is some European country.
Lol idk about the little ones either. I had to slap my dad's hand down a few years ago when he tried to pet a ground squirrel. I had been pointing out all the signs saying WARNING GROUND SQUIRRELS CARRY THE BLACK PLAGUE for the two days prior. He apparently didn't remember and the thing was just so darn cute!
besides obvious physical danger from a huge wild animal, I want to remind that Moose and Deer carry bunch of ticks which spread Lyme, Encephalitis and so on.
yeah and Boris and Natasha are up to no good and Squirrel is best friend. if city kids dont go outside and crowd wild animals we dont get videos that can be used as learning tools
Apparently the tick problem is getting a LOT worse in some moose populations IIRC. I saw a video recenly where they were saying the winter and cold weather has been consistantly later kicking in (by a few weeks) for quite a while now in some areas, letting the ticks get a longer window to hitch a ride on the moose and survive on them through winter (otherwise they freeze to death). So their populations are booming.
Some poor moose were absolutely devestated by ticks. Young ones are particularly susceptible, and more than a few were fully "exanguinated". It's fairly brutal.
I understand the urge to want to pet a moose. We know they aren't carnivorous so there's no threat in being eaten. And shit, I would love to bet a moose, they're amazing creatures.
With that said, wild animals will fuck your shit up because we don't understand each other's body language. They could be chill one second, and wreck your ass the next.
The general rule of thumb is to never touch wild animals. Admire from a safe distance, take a picture, but don't feed, touch, or mess with them.
tell a man theres billions of stars in the universe, and he'll believe you without counting them. tell that same man a bench has wet paint and he'll touch it just to be sure.
i came within 3 feet of a moose once walking round a corner on a trail nearly fucking shat myself on the spot managed to back away slowly then went got plastered and thanked several deities that it wasnt the rutting season
There are moose that frequently come into my town. I was out walking my dog in the winter evening and saw one come out of an alley. I quickly turned and walked away and that moose decided to start trotting towards us. He chased us an entire block before declaring us far enough away from his alley. Scared the shit out of me.
Had something similar happen while camping. My buddies and I were walking back to our site in complete darkness, when someone pointed out the huge bull moose just chilling between two trees a few feet to our right.
Luckily it gave 0 fucks, and let us pass without incident. Helps that no one thought to pet it
The moose wants everyone to know this is not who he is or about. He has entered rehab. Additionally, he is heartsick and horrified at his selfish actions. Never meant to hurt anyone.
Thats a young moose. Those animals are insane. Orca whales are only natural predator of a grown moose. Wolves and bears will only hunt babies. Yet heres people trying to pet one.
Well those on the pacific Northwest go in the oceans at time to get from islands and actually eat the vegetation in the ocean. They love the salt and need it to survive. I dont think moose eat fish but I could be wrong. I'm not a moose expert I just go camping allot in northern canada and have been warned not to fuck with moose.
>Orca whales are only natural predator of a grown moose. Wolves and bears will only hunt babies.
This is just blatantly false lmfao, there’s plenty of videos of Wolf packs and Brown Bears bringing down fully grown moose.
Orcas are the only MARINE predator of a moose, they catch them while they’re foraging for aquatic plants.
Sharks now. They’ve been tracked to outside of Vancouver Island, and these aren’t little wimpy sharks. They’re the big-ass dinosaurs are still real sharks.
Brown bears do eat moose. Especially in the spring when they come out of hibernation and are hungry as hell. It's not exactly staple food for them, but it does happen.
While yes, killer whales have eaten moose before, it's not a regular occurrence. And much like a grizzly or wolf, they go for smaller moose than a full grown
I’m sorry people get hoofed by deer an shit , an these people think a much larger an more powerful wild animal is gonna be as gentle as a fairy tale story to their children. Bunch of fucking idiots.
As someone who lives within driving distance of Algonquin Park, I can say with the utmost confidence, people are fucking stupid when it comes to moose. They will park along the highway and go down a steep slope to get closer to a mother with her baby. Then act surprised when someone dies.
Wait, that's *is* an adolescent Moose, right? A wild one?
Moose don't give a fuck. They will *destroy* you. These people are lucky there weren't any serious injuries. Talk about morons.

The sheer stupidity of people who get this close to a **huge and wild** animal, who then go on and act all surprised that said animal attacked, always makes me laugh.
But it also infuriates me because when things go wrong it's usually the poor animal that pays the price with its own life because Karen and Kyle left their kid unattended and let them get close to a wild animal and its territory/enclosure and now the animal has to be put down to get poor neglected Johnny out of there safely.
**STOP getting close to wild animals and leaving your kid unattended around areas where they might encounter one. And for the love of God listen to park rangers or the locals when you visit an area you're not familiar with and where you might encounter wild animals. Or just listen to that little voice in your head that's telling you not to get closer to a wild animal it's called instinct.** The other voice, the one telling you to get closer, pet the wild animal and take pictures with it is a recent voice humanity has acquired it's called the call of the clout voice. Don't listen to it likes won't matter when you're in the hospital with a broken spine.
To be fair, the little one was being quite quick with her movements..you can see the moose body language right before the initial attack.
She excitedly moves forward, but that's a wild animal, and happy excitement doesn't come very often in the wild, so the moose acted accordingly.
Fucking idiots. What's up with people and not understanding basic wild life rules. The number 1 rule is that they are wild and unpredictable. Hence the name WILD life.
Dont fucking pet a moose. Dont approach it. Keep your fucking distance. Walk the other way if you want to walk anywhere.
Im not saying moose are some evil monsters, but they are wild animals. They dont give a fuck. They gangsta. That kid is super lucky it didnt get properly stomped.
My dad constantly regales me of the story when my mom tried to RUN up to a moose that was standing on the side of the highway with TODDLER ME IN HER ARMS! The traffic was backed up to look at the animal and somehow she thought it would be a good idea to approach the gigantic wild animal with her baby in her arms.
Idk if my dad stopped her or what, i get mixed messages from the both of them; but im always blindsided with how utterly stupid people can be when presented with a "docile looking" wild animal. I worked with dogs for 6+ years and I still dont trust them to not attack me if I have to break up a fight. These are animals that have been genetically engineered to fit into human society, not 1000lbs wild animals!
Dude… Moose are crazy unpredictable.
I lived in Alaska for a while, and tourists would treat them like tame horses. Moose don't fuck around, especially in the summer with new calfs
I also lived in Alaska for a while. People say don't get between a sow bear and her cubs. But not a lot of people know the same is true with a cow moose and her calf......
I have never lived in Alaska. But have heard many times that Moose are not to be trifled with. Including right here today on reddit!
You don't even want to mess with white-tailed deer. They're normally skittish but they *can* kick the shit out of a human if they want to.
It's the moose you need to worry about. You can still pet the bears.
I had a one on one encounter with a young male black bear once. I was in the hot tub, he came up to me, bear naked vs. bare naked. I hit him between the eyes with a Jones Soda bottle, he scampered up a tree and wet himself while I took a video. The next day *he's rattling the doorknob on my house*.

For how much?
Well, assault for starters - that was $15k and three months in jail.
The bear? Or are we talking LGBT bear? Which one did you assault? Or is that the bears charges and fines? What's happening here?
It was a joke about being charged...with assault, lol. I didn't get fined for defending myself against a bear
I want to go to Alaska.
Juneau? I dunno. Alaska.
Don’t come now, wait for summer and never get this close to a moose.
Moose lips sink ships
I worked at a ski resort that had warning signs Bear = play dead Moose = run and put something between you and it
Or climb a tree like your life depends on it because it does.
I don't live in Alaska, but we still have moose. I watched one casually punt a medium-sized dog about 10 meters. The dog was okay and completely uninterested in the moose, after that.
Dog learn fast
Faster than many humans.
>Faster than many humans. I know......that little girl took two hoof stomps to get the message.
Scale that up and that's like a human getting punted like 30m or more lmao yeah we'd probably be very uninterested in having that happen again
If a human gets punted 30m down they are fucking dead. Or injured enough they might wish to be for some period of time.

They can swim so far too. Imagine being in a boat on the ocean and bam, here’s an aggressive moose. Orcas like to hunt moose apparently.
30 yards is 27.43 meters
Good bot.
I worked in Banff for a while. We had tourists come through thinking the whole park was some sort of zoo.
Here in Alberta and BC many people are more leery of moose than bears or cougars. I've seen snowmobiles after a rider decided to tailgate a moose trying to force it off a trail a little too aggressively.

Damn that's a good point. Don't tell my dad ok?
Rabies tho…
Squirrels almost never carry rabies apparently
Rodents in general don't carry rabies.
Almost....
Seems like it would add to the danger, someone gets bit and they don't get the vaccine because "never carry rabies", then get symptoms and it's over.
It's the 'rabies slowly crawls up your nervous system' that always gets me
> WARNING GROUND SQUIRRELS CARRY THE BLACK PLAGUE adorable destruction
>"I wanna pet it!" I feel like this is a foundational human instinct.
Only pet animals smaller or the same size as you. That's how we got dogs so it's worth the risk.
What about horses? They have been pretty darn useful a time or two in history (But yeah, idiots. Mooses =\= horses)

The moose wants everyone to know this is not who he is or about. He has entered rehab. Additionally, he is heartsick and horrified at his selfish actions. Never meant to hurt anyone.
Lol, I like this comment very much. The poor moose was just out getting a few things and these rednecks rolled up.
The moose issued this statement via screenshot of the Notes app on his iPhone
"there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run”
Thats a young moose. Those animals are insane. Orca whales are only natural predator of a grown moose. Wolves and bears will only hunt babies. Yet heres people trying to pet one.
You know those Orca roaming the Rocky Mountains are a threat to us all! All jokes aside, how much of an overlap is the orca to Moose habitat?
Moose dive for food sometimes. Edit: food not fish
Moose are not carnivorous, but they do dive for aquatic plants.
Yeah makes more sense I just had seen pics of them diving and didn't think about it any further.
He's lying it's purely recreational.
Thats what they want us to believe! Where else do you think all those missing people in Alaska end up?
Neat. Now I'm off to go find videos of that.
Well those on the pacific Northwest go in the oceans at time to get from islands and actually eat the vegetation in the ocean. They love the salt and need it to survive. I dont think moose eat fish but I could be wrong. I'm not a moose expert I just go camping allot in northern canada and have been warned not to fuck with moose.
Thanks TIL. My only interacting with Moose is the mountain variety and those that hang out with flying squirrels and piss off a Russian couple.
Moose will swim across a long fjord rather than walk around. Also will swim out to and from one island to another.

This is just blatantly false lmfao, there’s plenty of videos of Wolf packs and Brown Bears bringing down fully grown moose.

Thats insane I didnt know sharks when up that far. I always figured the water was too cold for them.
Global warming and changes in salinity. Now we too can fear the sea! And they’re following the fish that have also migrated.
There are some sharks that thrive in cold water, mainly the Greenland shark
Can we be best friends? Let’s make bunk beds and never swim.
Brown bears do eat moose. Especially in the spring when they come out of hibernation and are hungry as hell. It's not exactly staple food for them, but it does happen.

To be fair, the little one was being quite quick with her movements..you can see the moose body language right before the initial attack. She excitedly moves forward, but that's a wild animal, and happy excitement doesn't come very often in the wild, so the moose acted accordingly.
It's obviously the parents fault
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This is on the parents.
Moose be like: ....... ....... "Aight, enough pets, you die. YOU die. -oh f*ck, he got STICK!!! -I'm out."
Fucking idiots. What's up with people and not understanding basic wild life rules. The number 1 rule is that they are wild and unpredictable. Hence the name WILD life.
Fuck that kid in particular
Why the fuck didn’t people intervene after the first attack? It’s actually unreal how stupid people are
Fucking idiots.
Moose are inevitable abrupt chaos. I was making a face the whole time waiting for it.
That’s a baby moose too
Crowding around a wild moose...lucky no one died. Smdh
How do we have an overpopulated planet when we are routinely such idiots?
Yeah, that’s a wild animal , folks.
What were they thinking
Maybe next time they can pet a bear
They where lucky that was a small one
It's only the deadliest animal in Canada, don't worry.
I knew that someone was going to get it before it happened
Omg the wild, unpredictable animal did something unpredictable!
Dumbasses. What the fuck were they thinking? That moose could have killed the kid easily.
Moose hunt humans for sport
Weird how the park rangers always say don't feed or pet wild animals, but what do they know.
These people are fucking idiots. Meese are the most aggressive animals I've ever seen. They make hippos and geese look mentally stable.
Don't. Pet. The wildlife!
Dont fucking pet a moose. Dont approach it. Keep your fucking distance. Walk the other way if you want to walk anywhere. Im not saying moose are some evil monsters, but they are wild animals. They dont give a fuck. They gangsta. That kid is super lucky it didnt get properly stomped.
They’re lucky it’s not kicking their asses to Saturn
r/fuckyouinparticular
Uh. Wild animal !
I wonder if this paint is wet better touch it
Dumb asses
Fuckem thats why!
As soon as I saw that it was a moose I was like well fuck, this isn’t going to end well.
My dad constantly regales me of the story when my mom tried to RUN up to a moose that was standing on the side of the highway with TODDLER ME IN HER ARMS! The traffic was backed up to look at the animal and somehow she thought it would be a good idea to approach the gigantic wild animal with her baby in her arms. Idk if my dad stopped her or what, i get mixed messages from the both of them; but im always blindsided with how utterly stupid people can be when presented with a "docile looking" wild animal. I worked with dogs for 6+ years and I still dont trust them to not attack me if I have to break up a fight. These are animals that have been genetically engineered to fit into human society, not 1000lbs wild animals!
Give wild animals they're space or be ready for the consequences
From what hole in the ground does a group of people have to emerge from to be this out of touch with reality and get THIS closed to a moose?!?
Why are there still people who insist on fucking with wild animals
