Moose

Moose may look tame, but they are not. They have been known to charge people and vehicles and can attack with their hooves.

• Cow moose are most dangerous during calving season (mid-May to the end of June)
• Bull moose can be more aggressive during mating season (mid-September to the end of December)
• In late winter, moose may be reluctant to leave the road or trail and may defend their space aggressively

Watch for moose while driving

Moose commonly run across the road - and sometimes stand in the middle of it. They can be very hard to see, especially at dusk or if they are not facing you. Avoid a collision: scan the roadside for wildlife, drive within the posted speed limit, and avoid driving after dusk.

Stay at least 3 bus lengths away (30 m / 100 ft), whether driving or on foot. On the trail, wait for the moose to leave, take a wider detour if necessary and always keep a tree or other large obstacle between you and the moose.
