While Alaska is filled with far more dangerous wildlife (i.e., the more than 100,000 bears which call the state home), a moose attack is, nevertheless, something you’d want to avoid at all costs.
Alaska is the U.S. state with the absolute biggest population of moose.
Estimations suggest that anywhere from 175,000 to 200,000 moose roam freely in the state’s vast and beautiful landscape.
This might not come as a surprise to you – Alaska does after all have a notoriously rich wildlife. Other than moose, it also houses the largest population of bears.
When fetching something for shelter in his yard, a massive neighbor with horns approaches. As he steps outside, he soon realizes that he’s only a few feet away from the visiting massive moose.
We can only assume that he’s used to Alaskan wildlife as he realizes that the safest thing for him to do is to slowly back up in the shelter.
Although moose don’t usually act aggressively toward people, if they sense danger or are provoked, they may become violent.
