I never thought moose could run that fast, let alone through such deep snow. This is a terrifying thing to behold. Add a pair of antlers and imagine this beast coming right at you. Steamrolled, man.
@Synesthesia Believe it's a she. @griffonvideo Agreed. They look so goofy in the summer time, all that meat on top of four gangly toothpicks. But this? This was the nature that made the selection. I've never before regarded moose as majestic, but hot damn, this is cool.
I don't know if you guys were aware of this, but moose are basically just trucks made out of muscle and rage. Of COURSE they can go that fast, especially through snow.
@boudica "themoreyouknow.jpg" Clearly I have no idea about the flora and fauna of northern climes. Did you know that the innards of the roadrunner absorb as much liquid as possible out of its scat before pooping to minimize water waste?
