      My dad was a longhaul trucker for quite a few years, sometimes in a team so that when one person is driving, the other can get some sleep. One night he was woken up by being thrown out of the bunk at 2 in the morning. His teammate had hit a moose in the mountains of BC. The moose didn't even fall over. It looked into the cab, blinked twice, then wandered into the trees. The _truck_ however was written off for damage. Respect the moose, y'all.

      On a middle school trip to a local forest, we had a group of moose casually walk across a frequented path. I remember them being absolutely gigantic, like an elephant, which terrified me in itself.
      Luckily they kept everyone on a safe distance from the crossing, few dozen meters, and the moose didn’t mind us. They could definitely have stampeded us in a moments notice though.

      Having wildlife, that's in unfaced by humans (never mind dangerous) is just such a foreign concept to me, as a German. The most dangerous animals around here are ticks, I think 😅.
      Well, theoretically, wild pigs. But the handful of incidents I'm aware of there, were in the context of hunts. Even mother pigs seem to generally prefer to avoid humans. I have certainly never seen one on my many walks and hikes. And deer or such only a handful of times from far away. Although we have so many of both apparently, that they're a problem for the ecosystem, despite being hunted.

I was so focused to collect the berries and I couldn't hear a thing moving. Once I stretched my legs two moose standed right in front of me. They sprung off and their was a massive cracking sound of breaking twigs from the ground... Me and my mom were in ave of what just happened... They can move with no sound at all.

    As a former Eco Tpurism operator in Banff I had a passenger on a tour of mine who was a paraplegic from a moose accident with their car. Moose having such long legs if hit by an aerodynamic car will unfortunately crash into the compartment of the vehicle.
    Sad fact, 15.7 Canadians die from moose/vehicular incidents every year and 100s are permanently injured in such accidents. When you see a yellow warning road sign showing a picture of a moose, Slow Down. This is a known moose/vehicle high incident area.

    They're almost invisible at night, unless you're looking for the road side reflectors, and so on, and are sufficiently familiar with the road that you can spot the difference between norm clear road, and obstructed.
    It was the lack of reflection that mainly gave it away, but the mother's udder was another clue.

    I believe the science fiction term is “Meese”. I could be wrong but I read a book one time called “a wocket in my pocket” by a Dr Seuss. He was a doctor and I never saw him use the word “mooses”

    I first learned about this in Sarah Palin’s “Alaska Moose Meat Cookbook”. She has a wonderful recipe for antler soup.

    Once when I was going to school in the bus during the time of autumn I wasn't paying attention outside and then the bus stopped and I wondered why and then I saw two moose like 5 feet away from the bus it was scary as heck

    It’s weird to see a Canadian freaking out about moose. haha
    I lived most of my life in northern Alberta, not far from Edmonton and jasper, moose are just a part of life up there.
