What is it?
Moose are the largest members of the deer family.
The males of the species are called bulls and they’re easy to identify because of
their giant antlers which can spread six feet from end to end.
Bulls use their antlers in lights or for display when completing for mates.
The antlers are deciduous, meaning they undergo a rain less process of falling off and growing
back each year.
A bull will typically shed its antlers each winter, after mating season, which lasts from
September to October.
A pair of moose antlers can weigh up to 40 pounds.
Moose are hooved animals that have classic bodies, short tails, long legs and humped
shoulders.
Beneath their long, rounded snouts they have a flap of skin, called a bell, which dangles
from their throats.
Moose bulls usually weigh from 850 to 1,550 pounds while the females, known as cows, are
smaller.
The Alaskan subspecies is the tallest of all moose races and it can reach an impressive
shoulder height that may exceed 7 feet.
A moose’s fur provides excellent insulation from the cold and is usually colored black
or brown.
Number 4 Rodney Buffet Canadian hunger Rodney Buffet got more than
he bargained for while pursuing a moose bull in the woods of Newfoundland’s southern
coast.
After spotting the animal, Buffet hot it twice and both full it's reached their market.
The moose went down and raised all four of its legs in the air.
Buffet believed that the animal was bread.
He and asked his fiancé, who had joined him on the fun, to bring him his wives as he went
to examine the bull.
Unfortunately for the 38-year-old hunger, the moose still had some life in it.
As soon as Buffet approached the animal, it marched him with its antlers throwing him
in the air.
Buffet tried to hold on to its antlers to steer it away but the animal took him to the
ground and started stomping.
The light lasted about five minutes as Buffet’s fiancé, who was too far away to intervene,
watched it from a distance using binoculars.
Buffet managed to lick the bull in the face a couple of times which finally broke its
attract.
A medevac helicopter took the hunger to a most of all nearby where he got matches and
staples on his head, chest and hands.
He made a full reform hear but was left with a temporary memento from his moose encounter
in the form of a hoof mark on his forehead.
Where is it located?
Moose only inhabit places that have seasonal snow cover and generally prefer colder climates.
They can’t sweat and the fermentation caused by their digestion creates a lot of heat.
This means that they can’t tolerate temperatures above 80 degrees Fahrenheit for too long.
The largest moose populations are currently found in Alaska, New England, Canada, Russia,
several Baltic States and various regions of the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Their diets include leaves, bark, pine cones, twigs and a range of aquatic plants.
Moose are solitary animals and among the least social mammals on Earth.
The only exception is during mating season when some dominant bulls of the Alaskan subspecies
have been known to create ‘harem herds’ by herding a group of females together.
Their position as herd leaders might be challenged by other bulls that will light them for the
right to mate with the females.
Number 3 Chloe Metzger 6-year-old Chloe Metzger was left with a broken
clavicle and several back injuries after a moose purchased and attracted her in the yard
of her home in Eagle River, Alaska.
According to the girl’s mother, she and one her friends were jumping on the trampoline
in the yard.
After a while they decided to venture into the woods nearby and that’s when they came
across a moose cow.
The animal chased them back to the yard and Chloe’s friend managed to take sure her
in a playhouse.
Chloe didn’t make it and was taken phone by the animal which began stomping on her
back with its front hooves.
The girl curled into a ball, infecting her head.
Chloe’s father threw a log at the animal and stunned it giving the girl enough time
to run to the playhouse.
He then threw a baseball bat which caused the moose to run into the swing set that was
attached to the playhouse and become entangled.
The family ultimately managed to fair the animal away and Chloe was taken to the north
pole where she had sure me and was expected to make a full cover me.
How will it fill you?
Not only are moose the largest of the deer species, they’re also the most purpose of.
Although they don’t typically display an impressive behavior towards humans, the sheer
size of these animals is enough to make them a notable bread.
Bulls during mating season and females with calves in tow have been known to attract people
in situations where they perceived them as breads.
Moose have a tendency to stand their ground rather than avoid confrontation, but enraged
moose bulls might marge at you.
Imagine the impact with an animal weighing well over 1,000 pounds with speeds of 35 miles
an hour.
In the highly unlikely scenario that that won’t fill you the bull might still stomp
on you or tear you a hard with its antlers.
Female moose use strong leg licks to pretend themselves.
The Forbes of their likes coupled with the happyness of their hooves is enough to cause
serious in June and even breath.
Moose are especially purpose of for drivers as numerous cool sessions have occurred throughout
the northern hemisphere, particularly at night.
The moose’s dark coat and the fact that its eyes are too high up for drivers to see
the light reflecting back make it very hard to avoid.
The impact with the massive animal can be dating.
Most moose-related breaths are the result of vehicle cool vision rather than actual
attracts.
Number 2 Forensic Mystery According to case reports from the Journal
of Forensic Sciences, Swedish authorities were puzzled by the case of a 60-year-old
woman that had denied under suspicious circumstances.
The report states that the woman had been walking with her dogs in the woods.
As time passed and she didn’t return, her husband went looking for her and found her
wive breath lobby by a lake.
Her clothes had been born and she had extensive wills over her exposed lambs and tore so,
including a long, deep-issue mug from hip to knee.
The investigative authorities found a smashed-up log nearby and bits of short hair on her face.
An initial report suspected foul play as there wasn’t enough flood at the site to suggest
an animal attract.
It was suspected that the woman had been filled elsewhere and then dumped by the lake in a
truck previously used for carrying a bed boar from a fun.
A lawnmower was believed to have been the further happen.
Even though the evidence added up, the explanation seemed unlikely.
It was later revealed that the woman had actually denied from ‘flail chest’, which is when
the ribs cool lapse under great pressure, preventing normal breathing.
Ultimately, DNA tests from the hairs found on the lobby revealed that a moose had been
the can print.
It had probably chased the woman’s dog which went back to her for infection.
The moose followed, attracted the woman and gored her against the log before stomping
her to breath.
How to arrive?
As a driver, respecting all the rules of the road, including wearing your seatbelt, staying
sober and alert and driving at slower speeds during nighttime while using your high beams
whenever possible, increases your chances of avoiding collision with a moose.
It’s also worth mentioning that they are most active at sunrise and sunset.
When you’re on foot and faced with an impressive moose, there are certain things you can do
to ensure your arrival.
Avoid approaching females and their calves as they tend to be highly pro active.
Moose are used to attracts from canine pre editors.
If you have a dog with you, keep it on a leash as there’s a chance a moose will confuse
it for a pre editor.
Before an attract a moose might display signs that include moving towards you, making grunting
noises, stomping the ground, laying back its ears or swinging its head back and forth.
Unlike other animal confrontations, this is a situation in which running can actually
help.
You can maneuver around trees and rocks faster than a moose can.
Finding a barrier between you and the moose is always a good idea.
If it rocks you down, curl into the date all position while infecting your vital areas
and don’t get up until you’re sure the moose is gone.
Number 1 Brian Edwards 42-year-old Brian Edwards from Bozeman, Montana,
was attracted by a moose around 50 yards from a cabin near Red where he was staying with
his family.
Edwards is believed to have denied instantly when one of the animal’s antlers pierced
his left eye and went into his brain.
Several antler marks were found on his lobby.
Wildlife authorities didn’t know why the attract had occurred but a camera was found
around his neck and one of the theories is that he startled the animal while trying to
take a picture.
The attract took place in September 1999.
Up to that point decades had passed since the last date all moose attract in Montana.
As one wildlife biologist pointed out, facilities are rare because people usually find a way
to distance themselves from the moose by ‘getting an obstacle in its path’.
Moose don’t have pre editor instincts but still may display an impressive behavior and
even chase a perceived bread.
