I nearly got taken out by a momma moose while I was trying to pet her baby in Alaska, there’s a non-zero chance this is how I’ll meet my demise as well.
I saw a baby moose, it was about 5’ tall and I didn’t see the mom anywhere so I figured I could probably pet it and get away but she was standing in the brush line about 50ft away. When I got near the baby the mom charged out of the tree line and my wife drug me back into our truck. I can’t adequately explain why but it’s the same lack of survival skills that lead me to pick up a snapping turtle (in my defence they were in the middle of the freeway and I moved them to the shoulder).

lmao I’m glad your wife was there 😂 I do agree that the turtle had a valid reason!
