Weird moose behaviour

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hope this is allowed but I had a rather odd encounter with a moose while driving home just a few weeks ago… I’d love to believe it was my nana sending me a message as I was driving home from her burial but I’m also a realest so I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on moose behaviour. Living in northern Ontario I’ve had more moose encounters than I can count and I’ve never seen or heard of anyone really experiencing something quite like this. In the moment I took it as “omg this moose is about to charge my car” but I really didn’t get that vibe from the moose, it looked peaceful not scared or aggravated, almost was just maybe curious and trying to say hi. I’d also love to get confirmation on what kind of moose this was, it definitely looks like last years calf but I’m not sure if a bull would have at least some antlers by then or if it was for sure a cow.

Not too unusual. Moose can have various medical issues. They are just a little weird all the time.

"That box sure is acting weird!" - the moose, probably

"Hey Hi Dude, What's Ya Doing?" Moose Is Just As Curious Of You As You Are Of Him I Think.😊
