If you think you could outrun a moose, this video will soon change your mind

Bull moose in the fall.

If you've ever glimpsed a seemingly docile moose grazing in a forest or drinking from an alpine lake, you might think all those wildlife warnings about stampeding moose are overkill. These creatures are so massive and oddly proportioned, surely you could easily slip behind a tree or boulder before it picks up enough speed to do any damage?

A new video captured by a fishing guide company on the Kenai River might soon have you changing your mind, however. The breathtaking footage, which you can watch below, shows a mighty moose standing chest-deep in the water downstream. It takes a look at the boat, then charges past at full tilt against the fast-moving currents in what looks like zero to 60 fashion.
