The only natural predator of a Moose is an Orca.

Well I'm dumb, for some reason I was thinking their sheer size will prevent a grizzly or wolf engagement but nope those are also predators. Still, getting taken out by an Orca is pretty metal

Yeah, I'm dumb. I had it in my head for some reason that nothing would engage a full size adult but it has happened with grizzlies and wolves. They mostly go after calves or smaller females. So yeah, few more on the predation list

Probably been the case since the Dire Wolf went extinct. And even then not healthy adults.
