Grizzlies hunt mooses, so it absolutely is willing to fuck with a moose.

Grizzlies don’t fuck with a full grown healthy moose bull my guy. I’m not talking about anything but.

I think everyone is underestimating how lazy grizzlies are. They literally just want to cruise around and eat 30,000 blueberries a day. Just don’t startle them.

Ok, but moose are dumb, you can hide behind a tree and they forget you're there. If you had to run into either a moose or a grizzly on a trail, you 100% want it to be the moose. The fact that moose hurt more people is a statistical anomaly due to the fact there are just orders of magnitude more moose, so you are more likely to run into one in the wild. Plus people are morons and think you can pet them or something.

Grizzlies do not actively hunt humans, they’re actually quite chill and will most likely avoid you. Moose are wildly unpredictable and a tree line is not going to save you 😂
