Biologist learns the hard way that even baby moose can be dangerous. Update!

If that had been a full grown moose this poor guy would be a stain on the snow right about now.

Though I have read about many fatal encounters, I have been lucky enough to only have a handful of close calls in my life and no actual stomping.

The closest I came was accidentally blocking the only exit of a back yard and being charged by a bull moose and then chased all the way back to my car.

Update: I originally was told this was Alaska, but it turns out to be in Maine

    This guy was actually in Maine, not Alaska.

    Awwwww.....................Thwump!

    What worries me though is collar around it's neck. They didn't remove it's collar and I hope when he starts to grow bigger, that plastic thing won't choke him.

    I felt for that guy, apparently he's doing some kind of study and gets thanked by getting his ass whooped. I remember being amazed how big moose get.

    I dunno Uncle Gryphen. Seems like an appropriate response to me. Reenactment:
    I'm a baby. I'm away from my mother. I'm bound and blindfolded by this animal that keeps doing this to the other animals that live around here. Oh, somebody's getting their ass kicked the second I get loose. Oh, wait! He's letting me go? That's right mofo. Untie my feet and take off this blindfold. I got something for your skanky ass in 3...2....Take that, bitch! And that! How ya like me now?!!! I catch sticks with this mouth bitch. Is that all you got? Didn't think so. I'm out!

    And scene ---

    Do you mean to tell me that there are moose in states other than Alaska? That maybe even some blue Democrats in New England know a thing or two about the great outdoors? In fact, there may be all sorts of varmints wandering around the lower 48 (not to mention in furren countrys).
    So maybe Sarah Palin's ain't so special, after all?

    O/T: One of the 'house bands' over at the C4P seems to have stepped in it.
