Man Panics When Moose Starts To Charge Him: VIDEO

An incredible video of what happens when you mess with nature is making the rounds. 

As OutKick readers know, the animal thunderdome is unrelenting and downright brutal at times. The animals out in the wild aren't your friends or your pets.

Many of them will tear a person apart without a second though. That brings us to a video released back in late 2023 going viral again thanks to WhiskeyRiff.

Man learns not to mess with a moose.

The Instagram video from @touronsofnationalparks shows a man filming a massive moose from maybe 10-15 feet away in the Jackson Hole region of Wyoming. Smart. Real smart.

Eventually, the moose got annoyed (as anyone would), and decided to put on a little show of force. The moose started to slightly charge the guy, and as you'd expect, the guy panicked. He immediately dropped into the fetal position.

Give it a watch, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

People messing with nature and immediately regretting it, a story as old as time itself. How many videos do we need to see before people realize these animals will mess you up?

Apparently, we need at least one more. That moose could have ended that guy. An adult male moose can weigh up to 1,600 pounds.

Is anyone dumb enough to believe a human can take on a moose in a fight? I certainly hope not, but arrogance and ego are undefeated.

Don't mess with nature. It's not that difficult. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
