King of the Forest....in my yard
Three moose have taken up residence in my yard - a bull and two females. Some quick facts about these beautiful creatures:
- top speed: 35 mph (55 km/h)
- weight: up to 1500 lbs (700 kg)
- height: up to 6'9" (2.1 m)
Moose are beautiful, but they will kill you if they want to. One of my scarier experiences was being chased by an angry mother moose down a mountain trail while riding my mountain bike.
