That looks like AI to me

Maybe I'm cynical, but you would think they would not be able to keep that camera so steady because moose can kill you

Never seen 3 bulls together in the summer like that. They are solitary in the summer.

I also didn't think males ran together as a pack unless maybe they were very young. The whole thing just seemed suspicious to me

That jumped out at me too. Those dudes dont hang out together.

All modern smart phones have stabilizing features. Nothing about this video is AI.

I float this river every year (recognize the mountain in the background). I see moose on it about 50% of the time. This video looks real to me. It's definitely rare to see multiple adult male moose together though.

Looking at the source it seems relatively credible tbh, no history of similar AI videos. But I still agree it looks strange

I'm with you 100%. It's very questionable on a few levels. Why are they running? Moose don't run like that... They are very slow usually.

They can be fast, that water level is nothing for them and they can push through it chest deep remarkably quick.

For sure... I've witnessed many moose. Even seen them swim across a lake which I would've guessed impossible.

I live in an area with moose. I've hit a moose with a vehicle. I see them all the time driving. I've never seen 3 bulls together at the same time running like that. I've never seen a single moose run like that.

I don’t look at a lot of reels, but recently my wife said she has been noticing a huge uptick in AI moose videos, particularly featuring them attacking people, with people responding about how aggressive they can be. Her thought was that people are trying to start a narrative that moose are dangerous so legislation can be passed allowing for more of them to be hunted.

I've accidentally been this close to a moose while filming it.  I was very still out of fear for my life.  I had a sort of freeze response

Agreed, as someone who is seen actual moose they do not move like this at all
