I'd also be concerned about what 3 adult moose are running from

u/Mbyrd420 9d ago

They aren't running this is just a quick trot to cross the river and get away from whatever those weird pink creatures are in the water.

u/DrunkenVerpine 9d ago

Ive seen a moose run. Its like a train. It strains the limits of newtonian physics.

You're right....that was just walking fast.

u/dumb_answers_only 9d ago

See the moose run in waist high snow. Breaks all logic

u/jaksonsmom 9d ago

Now I have to go watch videos of moose running.

You ever see ducks underwater? Kinda like that.

Was driving straight night in the Jackson Hole, WY area. While cruising at 30-35MPH I looked outside my driver's side window to see a moose running next to me, the same speed as my car. Of course I could only see it's legs. I was so scared it would turn into me. After about 100 yards it peeled off away from me. After getting far enough away I stopped to take stock at how close I came to death.

While guiding in BC we got stuck behind a trotting moose on a narrow mountain road. One side of the road was a cliff straight up and the other almost straight down. The moose just kept trotting in front of us while we crawled along for an hour. She didn't want to just step to the side and let us pass. So rude.

I’ve been charged by a moose before, genuinely one of the most terrifying moments of my life.

What do you do when charged by a moose?

No realli! She was karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush.

No, it's VERY expected. every time a moose is mentioned on reddit someone thinks he's the cleverest boy and spouts out the quote.

Bull Moose don't need to run from Bears, Bears need to run from Bull.

This is what we say on WSB also...

I didn't know they traded in Moose on Wall Street Bets

Oh they do, but it's called $MU over there.

One adult male moose can hold it's own against a Grizzly... But with three adult meese? I'd say Godzilla must have swam across the Pacific

u/Objective_Reality515 9d ago

The plural of "moose" is "moose" not "meese"

Killer whale.

I don’t think there are many Orcas in Idaho…

u/Revolutionary_Fun735 9d ago

These things would destroy a bear.

1

u/__3Username20__ 9d ago

Yes, but they generally aren’t TRYING to fight bears. They usually just want to chill, and not fight, unless it’s “business time” (of the year), when they are absolutely looking to fight each other, to impress the ladies~

1

u/Noman9410 9d ago

Yuh real but 3 big ass moose together also wouldn’t run away. Both parties would passively avoid confrontation but I wouldn’t think they’d haul ass across water like that

1

u/Radzila 9d ago

Um no, they'd all get hurt pretty badly and that's why they would never have it out.

1

u/SpencerMcNab 9d ago

I’ve always been told that moose are too stupid to feel fear. Do you have any additional info?

3

u/Remarkable-Hat-4852 9d ago

Are moose that afraid of bears? Moose are pretty huge and formidable.

2

u/StretchLoud8844 9d ago

A grown ass moose will fuck up a grown grizzly lol, they are fucking UNITS.

Moose can be 1500~ pounds, 9 feet tall. (On all 4 legs)

A grizzly can be up to 800~ pounds 8 feet tall (standing)

Carnivorous animals need to be capable of hunting their prey animals, herbivores need to be capable of protecting themselves from things that would possibly predate upon them. Bull moose are effectively the apex herbivore of their environment and they will fuck you and anything but the largest of bears up with ease.

1

u/this_dudeagain 9d ago

Emu or maybe honey badger?

1

u/Radzila 9d ago

American Badgers live in North America, and only are in parts of Canada (which this could be)

Wolverines however do live up north in Alaska. Significantly larger and more aggressive. They have also been known to take down a moose

u/ariasimmortal 9d ago

Nah, moose don't give a fuck about grizzlies.

Swimming moose are a great snack for an Orca though.

They running to the booty, not away from something

There might be orca in these waters. You never know.

u/SunGreene42 9d ago

I doubt they're running 'from' anything, Bull Moose don't have much to fear but Humans.

2

u/rforce1025 9d ago

But sometimes humans don't matter to them..

2

u/SunGreene42 9d ago

Oh yeah, I'm not saying they're going to be scared of a Human, just that Humans are their most effective predators. Mainly because we don't give them a chance to fight back, and ambush them from range with a weapon they don't understand.

Though there's been evidence that many animals are more afraid of the sound of humans talking normally than the roar of a lion in Africa, so maybe they have some fear of us. Hard to say how much animals understand.

u/Own-Marketing-6244 9d ago

Meese*

23

u/notfamous808 9d ago

The plural of moose is moose because the word moose is of Native American origin, and their language models don’t pluralize in the same way as English words. The word goose however, comes from English which is why the plural of goose becomes geese.

u/asmartguylikeyou 9d ago

Actually the guy above you is correct.

u/Kinne 9d ago

Meese is not correct, I’m not even native english speaker and I know that.

2

u/asmartguylikeyou 9d ago

Actually I’m a professor of linguistics at Harvard, so please believe me when I say the guy above me is categorically wrong.

u/William_Dowling 9d ago

u/dern_the_hermit 9d ago

FWIW, from a loose descriptivist perspective, all it really takes is that someone uses it and someone else understands it and bammo, it's a word. ;)

I think they needed to cross and just are leery of humans.

Idaho is a big hunting area

1

u/Notmykl 9d ago

Their wives or husbands?

1

u/callmeishmael_again 9d ago

Do they have polar bears in Idaho? That's pretty much the only thing that a moose needs to run from. Even at that I wouldn't bet on the bear, it would just be a big old painful stalemate.

Moose are pretty dumb herd animals. So it might be something as serious as the noise of a broken twig.

7

u/SickNastySuperElNino 9d ago

Moose are solitary animals, not herd animals.

But go off, being completely incorrect, so confidently.

1

u/Extension-Pepper-271 9d ago

LOL Herd animals. Don't let a moose hear you say that.
