So Two Moose Are Fighting in Your Driveway Again
The footage is riveting, but also kind of terrifying, especially when you see how close some spectators came to the battling moose. So what exactly went down, and what should you do if you ever encounter raging moose in the wild—or, say, your driveway? Here, several moose and wildlife experts reveal all.That’s what Lee Kantar suggests you do if you find yourself near fighting moose.
Moose aren’t the fastest animals, but they can still hoof it up to 35 miles per hour; by comparison, Usain Bolt tops out just under 28 mph. The animals can also trot for long distances, so you’ll tire out well before they do—Plus, moose can kick each of their four legs nearly 360 degrees, with their back legs being the strongest. So if you’re within range of a kick, you’re likely facing a debilitating injury, if not a fatal one.
Same goes for calling for help. In the viral video, the voice suggests calling the authorities, but Hundertmark says that’s a bad idea. Animal control won’t come to the scene unless a moose is wreaking havoc on a city’s downtown, he says. If you do ring them up, they’ll just tell you to leave the beasts alone.Pretty good if you live in a place where moose are plentiful, like Alaska, where this video was shot.
Moose murder isn’t common, but it does happen, especially if one moose gores another during a fight. Moose can also die from infection after a fight, but that’s pretty unusual, since the skin around a moose’s neck and shoulders is thick to protect from puncture wounds.
