Hi!
Perhaps you already know that a fully grown moose can be massively large—and they can also be very dangerous, and even deadly, to people who cross their paths.
An article on moose attacks states that they can be 5 to 6.5 feet tall (1.5 to 2.0 meters) from ground to shoulder, heavier than a bear (male moose, called bulls, weigh up to 1,500 pounds [680 kilograms]), and can outrun humans.
They look somewhat comical—so part of their danger comes from folks underestimating them—especially when they are protecting their young.

Fortunately, no one was harmed in the video of a moose encounter included below—and although the people filming it found the dog-walkers reaction amusing—the older woman was probably wise to quickly turn back away from the giant moose who was having a rest in the shade of a yard in Columbine Lake, Colorado.
Please see LiveLeak advisory below.
This video is embedded from LiveLeak—a video hosting site similar to YouTube.
If you follow LiveLeak links, please be aware that videos there include graphic content such as car accidents, violence, nudity and sexuality, suicides, and so-on.
Also, while at this point it appears that video comments can only be viewed by those who have logged in to the site—it is sadly necessary to also warn that comments there often include insults, profane language, and vile racist/hate-speech.
I do not condone abuse of any kind—and completely condemn all hate-speech, racism, and racist language.

Thank you for stopping by.
See you again soon.......
