"On a hike in Cape Bretton, Nova Scotia a moose trapped us on a hike. It got really close, eventually we scared it off, but if it had attached it would have been curtains!"

As a kid growing up in Anchorage, AK, we were wisely taught to stand totally still if we ever encountered a moose. I'll never forget the feeling of one sniffing the top of my head, me standing as still as I could in the middle of the road. Just another day walking to school in Alaska.

This reminds me of a similair meeting i had in the forrest when walking my dog. Back then i lived out in the woods, like really far out. My dog never was on a dog leash because she would never hunt anything and stick by my side the whole walk. Anyway there is part on the walk were the terrain is a bit of a struggle and you have to fight a few tree branches to pass it. When i move the last bransh on the side and step out a very large Moose walks up to us. All three of us had a bit of a shocking moment because none of us wanted to be this upclose to eachother. I then remember my dog and the fact that i dont even have a leash with me and i get worried. My dog sense me being worried and start to growl. I realise that this can end up so bad because we are litterally in the face of that Moose. It was just a meter away from us. Instinctivley i just take a deep breath and then i yell at my dog from the bottom of my feet and all the way up to my mouth, SIT! The dog get scared because i never yelled at her like that ever and instantly sit, The Moose get scared and look at me thinking if i will attack it. I stand still doing nothing, hearing my heartbeat so loud and hoping that my dog will stay still and she actually does. The moose then relax and wonders off as if nothing had happen. This was many years ago but is one of those things that is stuck in my memory forever. The Moose was beutiful and majestic and it was a special moment but a very scary one. Oh and from that day i bring a leash always =D

Moose: huh I could’ve sworn he was here a minute ago ah well he’s lucky this time

[@truderenken3248]

They are so beautiful! Used to live in Alaska, and have been chased by moose twice. They are cranky, I was doing nothing but being in their line of sight. That was in the 50's, and they weren't used to people then, except the Inuit, who hunted them. MOOSE ARE BIG! Thanks for uploading.

[@ronanrogers4127]

It’s incredible that they grow fresh antlers every year. I read that their antlers are the fastest growing cells in the animal world. He’s pretty big, but I’ve seen bigger in a Russian forest 2 years ago. I’m sure the one I saw had been too close to Chernobyl, it was absolutely massive.

[@navheer4916]

Really? They grow news ones 😮

[@nightlightabcd]

The moose did not seem to be concerned about humans infesting his area! Apparently, the moose is used to seeing humans.

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

Either he's used to seeing humans or he knows if humans don't have guns they are scared to death of something his size..I tend to forget how large moose are until I see something like this :)

[@PrayForMe-iz1sj]

It knows its strength 🙄🙄🙄

[@jonathanallard2128]

@Bobby Rubarb lol They can definitely smell and hear though...

[@ananonymoushen4339]

He’s not bothered because he’s the biggest animal around lol. He knows they don’t mean him harm, and he probably heard them walking and talking a mile up the trail. ((Unbothered)) moose 😂

[@saran.4001]

Humans were not infesting his area, moose are infesting ours. Humans came to N. America 5000 years before moose.

[@konstantiapapapateras3371]

What a truly magnificent creature!

[@yoyohi9736]

its honestly amazing how massive these creatures are! it blowed my mind when I heard they're bigger then vehicles.

[@slackburngirl8593]

This is amazing it is ENORMOUS!! I was wondering if you were on foot or in a car until I saw you come into view!!! Just wow! If that incredible creature walked into my yard and was hungry and wanted to stay , I would just let him eat all of my trees and plants I would never care about any of it again. How absolutely majestic is that ? I cannot believe some people would shoot it for trophy fun. Moose are incredible. It’s simply incredible that they exist .

[@Chuck59ish]

Actually it's spelled Cape Breton. And this was taken in the summer because he still has velvet on his antlers, he's not as dangerous as he would be during rutting season when the antlers would be back and he would be looking for a mate.

[@susanlester1]

Charles Damery true but they are mean, especially the cows.

[@Chuck59ish]

@@susanlester1 The cow moose like does are extremely dangerous when they have young, and moose can brain worms to that make any moose extremely dangerous.

[@Chuck59ish]

@@susanlester1 The problem with moose is that get brain worm from deer and the moose go on a rapage when they have it. Both cow moose and does are extremely protective of their young, they can kills humans as well as coyotes and wolves with their hooves.

[@susanlester1]

Charles Damery I didn’t know that, thanks for the info.

[@TheGoddessOfYaoi]

I don't know if I should be in awe or completely terrified.

[@jool7793]

A little of both.

[@eddielemay2845]

Nothing more magnificent to see than a bull moose. I'm in awe

[@scorporsupremacy7948]

That’s actually a small cabin with horns hanging over the front door 😳😳😳

[@ObeyJesusOurLord]

Ha ha, what an imagination but you got a point there -- in fact, several points! Lol

[@janetpattison8474]

Wow, That is one big moose with one huge huge rack! I’m glad they’re not hunting.

[@immanuelweaver4522]

what a sweetheart.

[@cryptoknight3009]

Man this is just so majestic 🥺

[@cw4608]

That would be thrilling, just knowing he could cover the distance before you could react, but chose not to.

[@geoh1896]

I ran into one on a cut line in the Yukon. I'm 6'4" and it towered over me. I would give a moose more space than these people are. They will attack humans.

Thank you so much for the video. You were lucky to see this beautiful animal.

[@jobatimus]

This animal is so beautifull..

[@al01100]

That's a tad close. Not too bright following him either. When you've lost respect for the natural world, that's when things can get terrifying and painful

[@giovanna8187]

I would imagine you're right!

[@cocolebo4636]

Exactly !!!!

[@dannywickens1284]

I think your another self righteous american cock who knows nothing.

[@darylwilliams7883]

You could see right away the moose was not feeling aggressive. They seldom are. You can be sure it knew where they were the whole time and was not bothered by their presence.

[@conjoe176]

Is that a threat? Are you and the moose in cahoots with each other......God damn gangs🤬

"but if it attached" Was its fur velcro?
