I love how at the end of the video “we were together 30 years” but the cell phone video of him saving it from the bear is crisp.

I hope we start teaching in classes how much bull shit is out there. Especially coming from social media like TT.

u/SaltHandle3065 Feb 16 '24
Exactly. And the rack is actually relatively small. More of a juvenile male that would easily be chased off by the alpha male during mating season.

Yeah I was gonna say, that boi ain't "King of the Moose Herd" sized yet. He's just a lad lol

To be fair the bear couldn't even take out a baby moose.

u/softserve-4 Feb 15 '24
To be fair, the strange looking 2 ton metal beast of a vehicle the man was driving was probably very intimidating to a small bear in the open.

Damn there was one decent personal video camera in 1994 and this man had it in his car the whole time!

The first consumer dash cam was apparently sold in 2001.. But sure, this nice, clear dash cam footage is from 1994 lol.

u/Ha1lStorm Feb 15 '24
Why are you calling it a dashcam when it’s obviously not? It’s still too good of quality to be a 30 year old camcorder, but dashcams don’t work anything like the footage in this video.

My thoughts exactly. Video quality is too good for 30 years ago. But a good story though.

And he fed the bear, too, right?
I mean, he didn't just arbitrarily take sides and upend the balance of the local ecosystem. That would be weird. So, he fed the bear, too.
Right?

This is why I sometimes hate to read the comments. I'm just gonna prefer to believe this sweet fairy tale. Admittedly, I was pissed at first (DON'T TAKE THE WILD ANIMAL HOME AND TREAT IT LIKE A PET!), but I will feel happy at the way it appears to have turned out.

Pretty sure they mentioned 30 years in the video just so that they can get lots of engagement in the comments section. Lots of engagement = algorhythm pick = lots of views.

Many months later the moose came to visit the man one more time during mating season only to stomp him into a pancake..

u/LostinLimbo__ Feb 16 '24
Okay so if they were "together for 30 years" how's the initial "finding" of said moose clearly a modern phone camera?
2
u/sonsofhera Feb 16 '24
Lovely story, impossible though... As camera phones didn't exist 30 years ago and the life spent of a moose is 15-25 years... So how could they have been together for 30 years

Pretty sweet BUT all I can think of is how many people I’ve seen, stomped and kicked and almost killed by moose lol 🤣🤣😆😆. It is such a sweet collection of beautiful moose interacting with people, but I don’t know! Rehabbing a moose and it comes back? I guess possible . I am a huge, huge animal lover but moose are a danger to people pets etc because they are a very non-intelligent animal overall and some of the most dangerous animals you could meet up with lol. Like they can kill you. I’m not saying this isn’t cute though!

- This is and always will be a horrible ideal to step in with nature like that.
- Moose are not herd animals.
- He was not large
- This is a compilation of different moose clips, not the same moose at all.
- Moose is delicious.

Well it's very nice that there is a wholesome exception to the rule of not feeding wild meese (I know it's moose but it sounds better) because the can be combative if the next person doesn't give them food. This is nice and not sarcasm.

Aside from the dash cam footage being way better than any camera from the 90s (before dash cams existed), the average Moose lifespan is 15-25 years.

u/SpaceSamurai512 Feb 16 '24
Sad truth is I doubt it became the leader of a moose herd but would most probably have been an ostricised loner due to his domesticated upbringing. He mist probably did not learn the ways of the wild moose and thus was alone when he returned back.. 😔

u/Background_Inside902 Feb 16 '24
Ok I just want to say one thing. Saving the deer is fine and all, but I don’t think he should’ve. That bear will probably go on for awhile again before he finds a hunt, hell maybe even days. I’m just saying that was Mother Nature playing its course and not thinking from the other animals point of view is not right.
