Moose get hit by cars. Usually it's the moose that survives.10 bucks this was taken in Newfoundland. |

It may not even be as big as you think. I know here in Newfoundland the trees don't always get very tall so that could be what's happening here. Hey it could even be taken in Newfoundland. |

"What is so surprising about this? Have people seriously never seen a moose before?"I haven't. I'm English - where would I see a moose? Maybe on TV, but (a) I watch very little TV and (b) there's very little coverage of Canada in the TV over here. |

yep. Bull Moose. In Newfoundland those suckers are a huge driving hazard; it's like driving into a brick wall if you hit one, and they just get up and walk away like it ain't no thang. |

Damn that thing is pretty big. That is what happens when you give a Moose a muffin. He stomps on your ass and eats the rest of your muffins. |

I'm going to bet that this isn't photo shopped. Firstly this looks like a male moose and judging by the foliage it's either early fall or late spring, which both make sense. Mating season, or they're coming down off the mountains because there's snow on them and more food below. It also looks like a path, not a road, and the trees in very northern climates don't tend to have a large trunk base considering the limited nutrients, so it's hard to really compare the size of him to anything else.
I live in Anchorage and have to wait for moose to cross paths all the time or cross highways for that matter. This person is extremely lucky that the moose wasn't territorial or he would have been running. Hopefully he or she was backing away when the picture was being taken. |

@cman: according to Wikipedia, an adult moose is generally between 6 and 7 feet at the shoulder, with the tallest confirmed kill being 7'8". So figure in that a one lane road like that will have about 6-7 feet across of dirt, I'd put the moose at a bit over 7 feet tall. Elephants are definitely larger, usually about 10 or more feet at the shoulder. |

NO. no they don't. they just don't. they get big, but not like this. this is elephant big. moose never get bigger than a Clydesdale horse, and that's big enough. i call shenanigans. |

I know that driving through Maine, I read that you need to be especially careful about watching out for moose, even more so than with deer. At least with deer, the headlights will hit their eyes. With moose, the headlights hit their legs or torso. |
