What @dabertime says here is basic but extremely important and may be news to some.

While we’re doing wildlife safety advice:

Moose are •extremely• dangerous. They look harmless. They are not. Mostly easygoing, but will trample you to death without a second thought if they think you might be a threat — and can run 35 mph in dense forest.

Mountain lions won’t hunt human groups, but •do not• let young kids or dogs wander ahead or behind on the trail. Keep them close.

Mastodon 🐘Dwight (DB) 🤔 (@dabertime@mstdn.social)If you're visiting wilderness areas and parks this season, you may see bears on the side of the road. You may think that, like a zoo, this is a good opportunity to get out of your car for some pictures. DON'T. These are wild animals. If you're fortunate and the bear doesn't kill you, you may be killing the bear. Once accustomed to humans, they venture into places that puts people at risk and may have to be put down. 😕 See a bear on the road? Stay in your damn car. Thanks and Enjoy.

@inthehands @dabertime I ran into a moose once walking my dog in Maine. Everyone froze, me, the moose, and thankfully the dog. We all stood frozen for a good 30 seconds. I said to her, I’ll go this way if you go that way and we all did. I was very lucky.

I’ve had a similar experience. Hiking with my mom: “we should be careful, this habitat favors moose — oh like THAT ONE RIGHT THERE, 30 ft away.” Hair-raising.
