Amazing how something that huge just goes into the woods and disappears without a sound.
Never really thought about that but that’s a great observation.
Djinn-1 same with elephants.
It’s crazy how quietly they walk. Like 3ft behind you and they’re totally silent.
Bears are like that too.
Tiger do the same too about walking quietly..
They say when the forest is silent there is a predator, i believe most of the time its us.
As a kid growing up in Anchorage, AK, we were wisely taught to stand totally still if we ever encountered a moose. I'll never forget the feeling of one sniffing the top of my head, me standing as still as I could in the middle of the road. Just another day walking to school in Alaska.
Better a moose than a bear....
vital guillin, amen to that!
@@mtobrien1 Was thinking the same thing. Used to run into moose frequently mountain biking in Kincaid park. As long as it wasn’t during the rut or a year when food was scarce they were very docile. Ran into a brown bear one time (not in the park) and thought I was dead.
Kevin Seay, no Cubs with the bear, huh? It was alone? Man, ever encounter a female with Cubs... Still, if you startled a brown bear, god help you. What did the bear do? Did it seem interested in you at all?
You are a very lucky man to have had that wonderful experience!!!
I live in BC, I've seen Grizzlies in Hyder, their speed running up the creek was unreal... it took the big male seconds to come probably 200 meters!
I travel alone in my RV all over the paradise that our corner of the world is, I am EXTREMELY careful and noisy in the wild.
Take care!!!
Be safe!

It was a Canadian moose. It was very polite.
Clearly
😂
😅🤣😂🇨🇦
I'm sorry our moose aren't rude
Until you piss him off...
Then, with an apology...
💥BAM💥
That's NOT a giant moose.
That's a moose.
They're all that humongous.
Ya I think some people think they are like deer. They're not :)
@@itsthat8496 I saw one walking down the street past my house, in very rural Quebec.. It's a big horse with big ass antlers lol
Actually, Alaskan Moose is the largest species of moose. So.... This Canadian moose is not a giant you are right, but some moose are truly larger in Alaska (where everything is *actually* bigger).
They are the largest members of the deer family. And need plenty of personal space.
To those of us who have never seen a moose in the wild, this one is giant
Close enough to hear him breath. If he's fogging up the lens that might be your last picture.
Wtf 😂😂😂
Morpheus ASMR dad
I would shit in my pants 👖
Don’t worry guys bull moose are usually pretty chill... it’s the females with young you gotta worry about
That was hysterical, dude.
That wasn't a giant moose...it's just a regular size moose.
City folks never seen one in real life, that's why.

All moose are giants

I always forget how big they are. I’m in awe every time I see one.
@Lisa B That size, maybe 1000lbs, their northern Canadian\Alaskan cousins can get even bigger
Yip over 1800 pounds and around 12 in height average. But they get bigger
25 years ago, my wife and I were hiking on the Skyline trail, and we could smell the moose but couldn't see it. Moments later, he crossed in front of us, maybe 10 feet away. Later on the same hike, we were thrilled to see Pilot whales swimming in the ocean. Quite an adventure!
What does a moose smell like
Really musky, as I recall... we weren’t familiar with it beforehand, but it was clearly a strong animal scent.
@@hbear1336 that's normal since the musk from perfumes was extracted form moose before
I have had the exact same experience in the exact same place, love it lol

Exactly. Very annoying. Could have just taken their pictures and then walked away. This is called stalking... 🙂 But in some way I do understand, must have been a cool experience for those people.

See how quickly it disappears without a trace. Makes one wonder what's watching us sometimes. If mother nature doesn't want to be seen them it doesn't.
Theres a lot of things out there watching, thats why Fish & Wildlife sets up infra red cameras. Some of these paths thru the woods are really busy at night. There are a couple of National Parks where you dont want to be out on the trail after dark.
@@lorischeet5363 Which ones? I'd suppose any with grizzlies (or even black bears).
@@hariharanvenkataramani7311 Glacier & Yellowstone which both have banded endangered species that have been relocated. A Grizzly is not something you want to see up close, or even far away. They run very fast, and there is no where to climb. Waterton is Canadian, but same bears.
@@hariharanvenkataramani7311 Black bears dont even make my scary list. Ive heard the Kodiak bears in Alaska-Denali are fairly sketchy as well.
@@lorischeet5363 Cool. I've been to GrandTeton/Yellowstone and Glacier NPs. Saw one grizzly far away in Yellowstone and quite a few black bears at short range in GTNP. I'd rather not see either of them when I am on a hiking trail.
As a Canadian this is my waking nightmare. Such a majestic yet imposing beast
They can do a lot of damage if they charge. In the winter they sometimes follow RR tracks since they're cleared and will charge a train. Don't want to hit one with your car though. Just pisses them off.
Was hiking through thick bush in central BC when I heard a low muffled snorting sound nearby. Then the ground started vibrating like the scene in Jurrasic Park when a T Rex was approaching, thankfuly these vibrations were diminishing. Felt it's presence but never saw it and never went looking.. The immense power, size and stealth is truly impressive.

I was travelling in Northern BC, near Liard River where I camped, and at dusk one day I was driving along when female moose came out of the ditch and onto the road right in front of my right front wheel!!!
I saw the white of her eye and she veered off. I was travelling slowly, there is no one on the roads up there, so I was looking at the gorgeous scenery.
We didn't connect thankfully or I wouldn't be writing this comment.
I didn't drive at dusk or at night again.
It was close. But boy what a magnificent animal...
My truck was small in comparison.

So lucky to live here...🥰
There are those who get a thrill out of gunning one of these down. And get nothing from watching it as we're doing now. He's incredible.
i was in norway with my mom and we rented a cabin somewhere in the woods. it had an outdoor pool with a wood burning stove as a heater and i was just chilling in it when suddenly a moose emerged from between the trees and just stood like 10 feet away from me. it was incredible, we just looked at each other for what felt like an eternity until it disappeared back into the forest. i will never forget that experience.
that’s pretty beautiful

What's a 'cropper' ?

@@michaelkruk553 everyone died
@@subconscious.com_usa6691 - I've seen them wreck a bus.
the worst accidents in Canada are when a car hits a moose. miracle if you survive because of their weight but also because of their size. They have so long legs that typically the trunk of the moose will crash the windshild and squashed you inside the car. personally i would prefer to hit a truck rather than a moose. (but better never to hit anything!)
He's so beautiful.
And I hope everyone notices the moose showed ZERO aggression towards the people from start to finish. In fact, it was the moose that left FIRST.
That he's beautiful doesn't mean that you should be close to him and annoy him. If you annoy the moose, he'll become aggressive. But yeah, in general, he's a beauty for nature

Wow! This was a moment in life that is unforgettable. No amount of money compares to encountering such magnificence!!
Love yourcomment!
In fall it is terrifying as they will straight up kill you. Most dangerous animal in Canada
Sure it does if it means you'll live.
I rather take the money and go to the zoo instead, nature sucks anyway.
@@mittao86 Why does nature suck? Asking legit, no premise. 😁
After dinner one evening, I walked away from our tent into the woods of western Canada. I walked directly next to a moose. I looked down,stayed still and softly said nursery rhymes. He walked across the little path and disappeared. That was fifty years ago. I can still feel my heart stop.
This is why I have a cowbell when I hike through the forest. It lets the wildlife know I am coming so they will go the other way.
nah mate you will attract the wendigos that way
@@leopoldo3884 nah... it’s actually a good thing. If you lived in a rural area with trees all around your community... you’re told to “drag your feet or make noise so that the animals know you’re there and they can walk the other way” (I lived outside of town... and I had to walk 5 minutes through a dirt road, with no streetlights, every night)
@@leopoldo3884 and if there’s an animal nearby that attacks you because of the noise... it was gonna attack you either way... whether it was aware of your presence or not.
@@ghost-whitesand9447 what kind of experience do you have with wildlife?
@@leopoldo3884 I grew up in the ghetto and worked in a mental institution and was a bartender. I know how to handle myself with weirdos. I would have no problem harming a human but not an animal.
Looks like something ancient emerging from the forest. Very beautiful and very scary.
I FIND THIS AMOOSING !
😆😆😆
Lol
Noice
*HAH*
Lol, that was stretching it..
Moose was like - "I don't mind you taking my picture, but if you come near my stinging nettles I will use your legs as dental floss"
Alex P 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Zen but they gore you if you get close
@Zen Its just a joke that Alex P said using your legs as dental floss doesn't mean the moose eat people. What part dental floss do you not understand 😅maybe the moose has vegetation stuck in between its teeth😆have a nice weekend everybody!
@Zen Where are you from that doesn’t know Canada has provinces, not states?
@Zen he'll stomp you into the earth, lol. 😲
Such a magnificent creature!
they can walk through the woods like a ghost...
I am in Maine, yes they are beautiful yet can be dangerous.
This reminds me of a similair meeting i had in the forrest when walking my dog. Back then i lived out in the woods, like really far out. My dog never was on a dog leash because she would never hunt anything and stick by my side the whole walk. Anyway there is part on the walk were the terrain is a bit of a struggle and you have to fight a few tree branches to pass it. When i move the last bransh on the side and step out a very large Moose walks up to us.
All three of us had a bit of a shocking moment because none of us wanted to be this upclose to eachother. I then remember my dog and the fact that i dont even have a leash with me and i get worried. My dog sense me being worried and start to growl. I realise that this can end up so bad because we are litterally in the face of that Moose. It was just a meter away from us. Instinctivley i just take a deep breath and then i yell at my dog from the bottom of my feet and all the way up to my mouth, SIT! The dog get scared because i never yelled at her like that ever and instantly sit,
The Moose get scared and look at me thinking if i will attack it. I stand still doing nothing, hearing my heartbeat so loud and hoping that my dog will stay still and she actually does. The moose then relax and wonders off as if nothing had happen.
This was many years ago but is one of those things that is stuck in my memory forever. The Moose was beutiful and majestic and it was a special moment but a very scary one. Oh and from that day i bring a leash always =D
What a scary and cool experience! Was this also in Canada? I'm happy your method worked. Seems to me like mooses have different personalities. I think some are more aggressive than others I mean. I'm happy you encountered a moose that probably wasn't as aggressive as others can be. 🙂
ah Im glad you yell at that protection dog to sit and how she obey!! Fantastic all
What an adventure❗I have never seen a moose except in videos. I'm not sure I want to experience what you did but I'd love to see one in it's own backyard. So glad You, your Doggo and the Moose all came out alright.😊
So huge!! So beautiful.
When I was 11 I was very blessed to see a male and female in Idaho.
And I'm so thankful that I had such an appreciation for them that long ago.
We quietly watched then went on our way 😀
it was just keeping the weeds cleared back an off the trail for the hikers...* part time Government employee !!

Yes. Almost like they live there every day. Because they do indeed live there everyday.
Thank you guys for explaining the obvious joke
@@SubcribeMinecraftNOW Prove that it’s a joke.
No matter how many times l see one I'm always amazed at the size of these animals
"Don't move!"....but make plenty of noise with that bleepin', beepin' camera.
Makes you wonder why they were on the trail in the first place. Certainly not to just stand there quietly and enjoy a once in a lifetime spectacular animal.
Just what I was thinking.
*birds chirping*
The moose isn't stupid, it knows they are there. Movement can trigger fighting behavior. You people seem to forget that moose are the animal that kills the most people in Canada.
No kidding. Enough with the camera already..🙄
Sounds like paparazzi with the cameras and beeping going off.
I live in Cape Breton where Moose are a common sight when hiking in the Highlands National Park located on the world famous Cabot Trail. Thousands of hikers from all over the globe travel here to see the majestic scenery and wildlife. Most Moose on these trails are quite used to walking amongst the visitors and are harmless. The only time of the year when Park Wardens may temporary close some trails is during rutting season.
He was still in velvet, not in rut, he was hungry and there were hikers flanking him. Only in hindsight do I figure out that the chances of him being aggressive were low. Credit to the one who did the video. Nice and steady. I am jealous. These sorts of moments, encountering wildlife that might be dangerous are the good ones.
At least the people were being respectful.
respectful////lol
They're too close. Not at all respectful.
What choice do they have?
Of Course, it's Canada. The man in the video at the end was a Canadian National Parks employee leading a guided hike - he was in their uniform with the logo on his sleeve - he knew what he was doing. Contrary to the general opinion of the World, Canadian animals other than bears, wolves and cougars are not very dangerous, and even bears, wolves and cougars will nearly always avoid conflict if they have a choice.
Are you kidding? They are complete idiots. They are putting their lives in danger, and whoever is clicking the camera needs to be culled immediately. They had ample opportunity to back off and they didnt. Sickening to me.... so clueless, so dangerous.
Really cool!!! So glad people put videos of beautiful animals like this on the net without being shot. Well done!
He’s the biggest Moose I have ever seen, just look at those antlers. Great video.....
I wished I had seen this creature with my own eyes. What a magnificent beast. He didn't look like he was going to attack; he could plainly see you but he was calm and more interested in eating.
As soon as you see people on the other side of the trail, get the hell out of there. If in any way the animal feels trapped, you got a big problem!
This took place in a Canadian National Park, that was a Canadian National Parks employee visible at the end leading a guided hike, he was in their uniform with the logo on his sleeve. What you say has truth in it, but, I suspect this moose hangs around this trail a lot, is known to the Park Staff, is known to be docile and used to humans, and that is why the Guide felt comfortable being so close.
@@canadaauroraborealis3958 Good observation.
I was actually thinking about that as well. Take a picture, turn around and go away from there. At least if you care about your safety. It's nicer to the moose also. 🙂
That’s exactly what I was thinking! I wanted to tell it to them. Jesus 🤦🏻♀️
I saw a moose like this one stroll through our parking lot in Baie D’Urfe Montreal .

His belly was above the tops of the cars . They are huge !

I love how there’s always one guy telling you how to behave around wild animals.
@N it ain’t just one…
It’s incredible that they grow fresh antlers every year. I read that their antlers are the fastest growing cells in the animal world.
He’s pretty big, but I’ve seen bigger in a Russian forest 2 years ago. I’m sure the one I saw had been too close to Chernobyl, it was absolutely massive.
Really? They grow news ones 😮
I had a close encounter a couple of days ago in a Swedish national park, I have to say...I got so scared I fumbled with my camera and unfortunately missed the opportunity to film this majestic creature.
They spooked him taking selfies, observing is the beauty of nature
There’s people on both sides of him, hemming him in on the trail!
He just looks like walking out of a cartoon
I never knew Moose grew that big...
That's so cool. 😮
A beautiful and blessed beast
Beauty at its finest. Thanks
I was canoeing in Algonquin park a decade ago and one of these big bois walked right out in front of our canoe across the river. He saw us, but just kept walking. Beautiful creatures, beautiful nature.
Respect to you for admiring this majestic animal from a distance. Appreciate you sharing, what an awesome sight to behold. ♥️👍♥️
I can’t count how many times the moose bedded down in our back yard in the winter months. No matter how many times I saw them, it was always exciting. Part of the landscape inNorthern BC.❤
I remember seeing one a long time ago... was on vacation with family in a tour bus in Canada, I was just looking out the window kinda bored, and for a very split second, you-blink-you-miss, we passed by a moose. I'll never forget how absolutely huge it was, staring at our direction, easily at the height of the bus window. I was absolutely shocked, never knew they were so big and had never seen a wild animal that big before either.
Camera's have the option to turn that beeping off you know.....just sayin'.
Thank you Christ I was wondering why no one else complained about that
This Moose owns the forest.
I imagine they never stop eating to keep up that bulk. They are so intelligent, I'm glad the hikers weren't stupid.
One of the only large animals that survived the ice age
"Awesome footage" thanks for sharing.
Just imagine how big his friend rocky is !!!

@david white And republicans!
Lmaoooo
I just saw a documentary about the most dangerous animal is actually a hippo. Would not have been my first choice.
@Candy H Then you should go outside your house every once in a while.
Actually it's spelled Cape Breton. And this was taken in the summer because he still has velvet on his antlers, he's not as dangerous as he would be during rutting season when the antlers would be back and he would be looking for a mate.
Charles Damery true but they are mean, especially the cows.
@@susanlester1 The cow moose like does are extremely dangerous when they have young, and moose can brain worms to that make any moose extremely dangerous.
@@susanlester1 The problem with moose is that get brain worm from deer and the moose go on a rapage when they have it. Both cow moose and does are extremely protective of their young, they can kills humans as well as coyotes and wolves with their hooves.

My gosh, he is gorgeous. I'm in Utah and more than once we've come around a corner on a hiking trail and met a moose face to face or face to backside. You just don't realize how big they are until you're next to one. Watching them run from behind is hilarious, they are all legs.
Wow what a beast of a specimen!

Because I don't want to make the mistake of buying one.

Just wow!
If that incredible creature walked into my yard and was hungry and wanted to stay , I would just let him eat all of my trees and plants I would never care about any of it again. How absolutely majestic is that ? I cannot believe some people would shoot it for trophy fun. Moose are incredible. It’s simply incredible that they exist .
The moose did not seem to be concerned about humans infesting his area! Apparently, the moose is used to seeing humans.
Either he's used to seeing humans or he knows if humans don't have guns they are scared to death of something his size..I tend to forget how large moose are until I see something like this :)
It knows its strength 🙄🙄🙄
@Bobby Rubarb lol They can definitely smell and hear though...
He’s not bothered because he’s the biggest animal around lol. He knows they don’t mean him harm, and he probably heard them walking and talking a mile up the trail. ((Unbothered)) moose 😂
Humans were not infesting his area, moose are infesting ours. Humans came to N. America 5000 years before moose.
i genuinely love moose. they’re just big asf for no reason lmfao
Thank you so much for the video. You were lucky to see this beautiful animal.
That's a tad close. Not too bright following him either. When you've lost respect for the natural world, that's when things can get terrifying and painful
I would imagine you're right!
Exactly !!!!
I think your another self righteous american cock who knows nothing.
You could see right away the moose was not feeling aggressive. They seldom are. You can be sure it knew where they were the whole time and was not bothered by their presence.
Is that a threat? Are you and the moose in cahoots with each other......God damn gangs🤬
that's a weird horse!
They are so beautiful! Used to live in Alaska, and have been chased by moose twice. They are cranky, I was doing nothing but being in their line of sight. That was in the 50's, and they weren't used to people then, except the Inuit, who hunted them. MOOSE ARE BIG! Thanks for uploading.
