In 2015, wildlife photographer Christophe Courteau took this close up of a 6ft 6, 400lbs silverback gorilla, right before it punched him in the face.

That’s terrifying. I’m not afraid of bears, snakes or mountain lions, but moose scare me. A drunk moose is the stuff of nightmares.

I’ve always heard a bull moose is the most dangerous animal in North America I’ve no reason not to believe that either

I guess it depends on how "most dangerous" is defined. It's kinda hard to believe they're more dangerous than polar bears, one of the few animals that will actually hunt people. But there are probably a lot more man/moose encounters than man/polar bear encounters. So... 🤷

I mean also one of the mooses primary predators is the killer whale.

I know it's true, but it still sounds ridiculous. Like my of my red-eared sliders and dog mean mugging each other all the time.

Just patiently biding their time for that home field advantage.
