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.
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.
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.
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.

You don't want to know what will happen if you hit them with a vehicle.
ickplant@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 350d
You better swerve unless you’re driving one of these. Even then you better swerve.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today · 7 pts · 350d
Swerve? Nope!

Don't y'all in North America drive giant vehicles?
Imagine hitting one in a Fiat Panda.
scottmeme@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 348d
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.

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

Saw one in a yard in anchorage. It's like deer are in the Midwest

Some of the last surviving Megafauna, yep.

Some of the most successful species on the planet are megafauna: cattle, and your mom

Fun fact, orcas are considered a natural predator of moose

Would you rather…:
• …encounter a moose in the water
• …encounter a great white on land
Def option 2 for me…

What about two feet of jelly?
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 350d
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.

Did you just say moose live in the ocean??

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 349d
I've seen footage of them swimming in rivers/lakes, but I didn't know they went in the ocean.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 348d
It's how the orcas eat them

Now hold on there for a minute.
I will fight a sexy sharkette in the jello pool.

felsiq@piefed.zip · 20 pts · 350d
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
bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 350d
Moose will attack you, but a lot of the deaths they cause are from hitting them with vehicles.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 349d
i seen alot of stupid people trying to approach a moose(videos). they arnt deer, or dogs.
bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 349d
Dear and dogs kill more people per year.
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 350d
Fucked up that they can swim tbh
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 22 pts · 350d
They can dive.
barnaclebutt@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 350d
Legitimately scarier than a shark.
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 350d
The ironic part is that they cause more deaths than sharks

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.

Potentially more than 2, Kevin Smith is directing it.
