Yeh, it's these magnificent moody bastards. This is just a little one. Never get out of the vehicle on safari is the ONE rule we ask you not to break.
Also don't feed the bears. You will ruin their supper if you do. Don't tell me - "But it's only one cookie?" - because if that argument didn't work with my mom as a kid, it isn't going to work for you either.

When my brother in law first became a police officer, he was stationed waaaaay up north. He was patrolling the highway one night and hit a moose. Apparently, the only thing that saved him was the caging behind the front seats. Since the moose came right through the windshield, the caging stopped it from crushing him completely.
As it was, my brother in law was in very bad shape.

Their long legs place their massive torso right in the path of a vehicles windshield and few vehicles can protect their occupants from those kind of an impact related deaths.
Coincidentally I have seen studies that suggest that if they were only a foot TALLER (imagine how large a creature would result) then more than half the deaths resulting from contact with them would not occur.
It's like nature evolved them to be a car's worst nightmare.
Man. That evolution's a B. Which is why I don't buy into it.
I've always been drawn to moose and Galapagos tortoises. Kinda like you're drawn to octopus I guess.
I originally come from Newfoundland, where there is one moose to every four humans, so it's an oft-heard caution.
While camping in Cypress Hills Provincial Park, I was awoken one morning to the sound of massive hooves crunching into the gravel three feet from my head. Peeking out of the tent, I saw a family of moose cruise through our campsite - bull, cow, and calf. An awesome moment. It looked like they wanted to hang around and browse, so we quietly de-camped and left the area to them.
I have even seen an old Bull once in my CITY. Sure it was on the edges but to see him walk around the paved streets like he owned the place was pretty epic. Cars just stopped and the world just stopped as he did his thing.
Tortoises bother me. They just move too damn show and I think they do it on purpose to annoy me.
I am constantly wanting to kick them in the ass and tell them to get going but that only makes them move SLOWER - GAH!
