They have a point. Mostly like several. Repeatedly being stuck into their chest and tearing bits out of them.

Wyoming resident here. Every one knows that a bear will kill you in an instant, but if you're up here for the summer, for the love of god please stay away from moose. Moose get really territorial, they are almost as tall as a house, and they will fuck your shit up. Moose are chill, until they are not.
PS: Don't approach bison (buffalo), or any wildlife, in Yellowstone you big fuckin' dummy.
P.S., Moose are way bigger than horses. Taller and way heavier. And very fast, not sure if faster than a race horse, but very freaking fast.
Every year there are a few collisions between vehicles and moose. They're more often fatal for both the moose and the people in the car than collisions with other animals like deer or bears. Part of that is because the moose are bigger than most other things you might hit, but a bigger issue is where their weight is concentrated. A moose's belly is about 1m off the ground, so if you run into a moose with a car, you're likely to knock out its legs with your fender and hood, sending its 500 kg body through the windshield.

This is a moose hauling ass through 3 feet of snow, if anyone would like a demonstration.
I went to Yellowstone a couple of years ago, and about a month or two after I came home, some idiot tried to get up close and personal with a bison standing near a building (to get pictures) and ended up with a shattered spine.
Is this Darwinism?
Literally, every year there are multiple incidents because people can't or refuse to accept that they are wild animals. The bison and even regular deer are also dangerous.
Agreed. A deer will fuck you (and even itself) up if it thinks you might attack it.
Oh good god that was a terrible place to put the brackets.
Yeaaah in hindsight maybe I should have put "up" first. Leaving it up for free psychic damage.
Acshully, the plural of moose is meese
Octopodes.
English is such a dumb fucking language. I really hope we reform it some day to reduce the time future generations waste learning all the stupid exceptions to every single rule
Well... there WAS a point in time where english could have been replaced by German as THE international language...
I think this factoid gets spun out of proportion. Iirc German could ve become the language of science or one field of science. But it was never a contender for the language of trade or diplomacy (the latter being held by french for a long time).
This was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to a time period from roughly the late 30s to the mid 40s of the last century... but of course you are correct 😉
Now you're going to tell me that bison is singular even though it has bi for two in it
They're called "bison" because they weigh at least as much as two sons kissing (non-related).
At least "octopuses" is correct.
It's Octopussies!
What are the odds of this comment being a deliberate As Told By Ginger reference?
