Moose are huge, powerful animals, often standing over 6ft tall and able to run at speeds up to 35mph despite their seemingly gangly stature. They can also be unpredictable, particularly when guarding their young, as one woman learned at Rocky Mountain National Park.
In a video shared on infamous Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks, which calls out bad behavior at sites of natural beauty, the visitor can be seen standing dangerously close to a cow moose and her calf. Predictably, the mother lashes out, charging and narrowly missing the tourist as she kicks with her front hooves.
