...are moose dangerous? I am not well-versed on meese.
IDK how dangerous they are, but given the fact there was a large wild animal on campus, I'd definitely treat it like a dangerous threat considering it probably almost never happens.
Also, last thing I'd want as the principal is to have to explain to parents why their idiotic children went to take pictures with a moose and got hurt because of it.
Ah the liability piece definitely makes sense.
The bigger ones weigh almost a full tonne. Bulls can take offense to your existence if you get too close or it is mating season, and Cows will protect their calves, but in general moose are docile and normally avoid humans. The fact one was spotted in the middle of a city means it is an outlier for any number of reasons (rabies?) and as such all bets are off.
Moose are one of those rare animals that might kill you just because they feel like it and are jerks.
Yes, if only cos of how big they are
Most of the deaths they cause are being hit by cars, but sometimes the males can get aggressive
Just stay away from them and you're fine, but as rule don't fuck with something as big as a moose
Extremely
Moose are about as dangerous as a cow
