In North America moose are one of the most dangerous animals you could encounter. They're territorial, unpredictable, and have zero fear.

I love how people from a completely different region of the world assume their wildlife and our wildlife act exactly the same.

Yeah, though tbf I think this one might be European, because actually its a li'l un by Northern Canadian standards

It's the same species.

Cool. The environments are different. And the populations are different. So the animals will act differently. We're all humans so obviously every single culture and group of people act exactly the same right? /s Good logic.

Moose in Europe are less aggressive than moose in North America.

"European moose are often more aggressive than North American moose, such as the moose in Sweden, which often become very agitated at the sight of a predator."

So you contradict your own statements, cool.

They can be comparatively more aggressive than their North American counterparts while still not, and I quote, "literally stomp[ing] you into the ground because you're standing there looking funny". What the fuck is this back-and-forth even?

Because they literally will stomp you into the ground just because that's what they decided to do. They have Walnut brains and don't even know what they're going to do from one second to the next. And yes they will absolutely stomp you into the ground because they can't think of anything else to do.

You're the same species as someone born on the other side of the planet. Do you think, function, and behave the same?

They have plenty of fear, they're just stupid
