The former being fatal and the later being quite fatal. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-46266340748279284072017-06-04T10:40:44.448-08:002017-06-04T10:40:44.448-08:00I just got back from a vacation in Yosemite.

There are only about 4-10 bears in the entire valley. <br /><br />Did not see a deer until my second to last day and then it was in broad daylight. Saw several at the Majestic. <br /><br />Then my last morning there were 4-5 of them walking around Half Dome village like they owned the place. And they do. They didn't care about people walking, dogs or cars. They simply continued on their way. <br /><br />The rangers tell everyone to give the dear a wide berth. It's not the antlers you have to be careful of, they say. (These deer didn't have antlers at the time.) Nope. They'll run at you and knock you to the ground, then stomp on you. <br /><br />So I'm just increasing that visual to moose-size. I imagine it wouldn't take much of a tap by a moose to send you to the ground where one stomp would pretty much settle the matter. <br /><br />Looking cute or non-threatening is immaterial. <br /><br />Hippos are the most dangerous animal in Africa and account for the most deaths. But they are so darn cute. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-24008656048030627592017-06-04T09:42:50.779-08:002017-06-04T09:42:50.779-08:00Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti...Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti...rte148https://www.blogger.com/profile/10319526944457578687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27653646114658752112017-06-04T08:47:31.824-08:002017-06-04T08:47:31.824-08:00"Some quite fatal".

It's popular with tourists because the moose come to feed there in the evenings. People will park alongside of the road to watch them. While we were there a Japanese/Chinese? guy with a camera (you get the idea) starts creeping through the grass to get a closer shot of a mother and her calf!!!! We could see the mother was getting agitated so we decided it might be a good idea to leave before a moose started charging. Not a good optic for the kids, you know??
