Wild Moose in Boston Suburb; It’s as Dangerous as It Is Comical

It's hard not to laugh when you see this moose galloping down the suburban streets of Watertown, MA yesterday, but what you may not know about this critter is how truly dangerous they can be.

People always think that the fatality statistics with the moose are based solely on high speed traffic accidents and this is very misleading.

When it comes to wild animals in America that are most likely to kill you, the moose always makes the Top 5. If you don't believe that they can be aggressive and stomp you ruthlessly, just check out what the baby moose does on the GoPro footage below.

If confronted by a moose, back away slowly while looking at it indirectly. Any eye contact is seen as a threat. Believe it or not, if you're in the woods, a quick dash to hide behind a tree has been a proven effective method to evade this half ton herbivore as well.

The young cow that startled Watertown has been recently spotted in a wooded area in nearby Belmont and officials hope that it finds it's way back to the wilderness soon. No damages were reported in either city and the moose appears to be healthy, albeit a bit confused.

I'm glad that neither the moose or any citizens were injured by this comical clash of cultures.
