5. Thanks for the pic. Now, if you can catch a young polar bear strolling around your neighborhood,

please share that with us too.

Are moose (Mooses? Meese?) dangerous to be around?

9. They can be, especially this time of year

when the mothers are having calves. The Fish & Game folks say a mama moose can be as dangerous as a grizzly bear. This one is young but not newborn obviously. We didn't see his mother anywhere around.

10. "Survivorman"

Les Stroud claims that a bullmoose in rut is the most dangerous animal on the continent.

I've never been north of CHI, but he seems to know his stuff.

I know I get cranky when interrupted...

Great foto, tx! I get an occasional whitetail in my yard, but moose are marvelous creatures & I'd love to see a wild one up close (as long as he wasn't courting)

7. Where's his collar and leash?

He looks small -- is that a young one?

8. I've got the theme from "Northern Exposure" going through my head right now.

11. Moose can be really dangerous. Glad this one is a juvenile.

12. Our city moose are fairly human-friendly

but I still get nervous around the adults. We frequently come across them when we're out on our walks...we just walk by r-e-a-l-l-y slowly and try to blend into our surroundings.
