So is that a baby moose or what, the pics I've seen the fuckers before make me think a tractor trailer might not win the collision but that one seems pretty... not that huge.

Once saw a soldier who was doing a small-ish amount of extra duty get the suspended part of his duty enacted, because he was not at his place of duty. Why? Abandoned extra duty picking up trash in a field to chase a couple geese with a stick.

“But sir! Those geese were a clear threat to our ongoing activities! If i had not chased them in circles with a stick for 30 minutes they would have pinched mcMurphys butt and you know how thats going to end up!!!”

Took individual initiative to ensure the ongoing security of the Company footprint. Even though on Extra Duty, SM sought out to hone and maintain combatives skills and the Warrior Ethos.

There’s a thin line between brave and stupid, and chasing geese sounds like it falls into the latter category.

Once they are past a certain size, none of them are to be taken lightly but the bulls in rut can be incredibly, persistently aggressive and when they cows have calves they are known to fight grizzlies and win.

An elk is a different animal than a moose, but it's still a huge deer that sheds its antlers annually, is dumb as a pile of bricks, and is completely ruled by its dick once a year, and likes to visit you in the car via the windshield at highway speeds.

Yeah, an elk is a really big loving deer, but still just a red deer. A moose is a completely different animal, is even larger, and will straight up end you.

A moose is a type of deer.

In much the same way that a tiger is a type of cat.

Wikipedia posted:

red deer (Cervus elaphus)
elk (Cervus canadensis)

Elk were long believed to belong to a subspecies of the European red deer (Cervus elaphus), but evidence from many mitochondrial DNA genetic studies beginning in 1998 shows that the two are distinct species.

Orcas attack blue whales by jamming themselves into their mouths and eat their tongue.
They gang up on great white sharks and rip out their belly to eat the liver.

It’s a loving mystery why they don’t murder humans over and over.
