What a friendly moose!

[barticus812]

why is there always a negative person in a group that has to tear apart anything cool that happens with natureand human enncounters go play nintendo and eat your tofurkey

[6Jillybeans]

How did its fur feel? Was it soft?

[Fuktupratbag]

aww you lucky duck ! that would be sooo cool to do that.

[TheNeonSkittlezz]

Lol, nice, if it had antlers i wouldn't trust petting it JUST in case lol

[907aurora]

It's people like this that make moose even more dangerous to other humans. When fed by humans, they associate man with food. My dad had a scary encounter out on a Xmas ski with a moose who had obviously been fed by someone. This bull started nudging my dad's pockets with his nose and my dad's legs with his hooves. Luckily he was at the top of a hill to push off and get away from them. Please, people. admire them from a distance and respect boundaries.

[DominicMetal1979]

Up in Alaska, a bull moose charged me and I knocked it out with one well-placed punch to the nose.

[TheColumbianOutdoors]

@DominicMetal1979 Chuck Norris?

[SheddHeadz]

moose r cool

[dreamingthrough]

Very sweet. I remember reading a story about a moose who thought she was a person when I was little.

[Siebven]

I don't see why people think this is fake, it's clearly alive.They've obviously never seen a moose before. They're the cows of the forest, it's not that hard to believe that some of them are friendly.

[misterbonzai08]

What a lovely moose.

[levthelion]

after an experience like that i bet this guy will never shoot a moose, or any other large animal

[debowe39]

ya till someone shoots the poor thing im from cape breton and they are all gun happy kill anything not me. love this nice.

[22SHADOWLOVER]

aw. nice moose. it just sat there and let the man pet em.it must have been comfortable.

[79Testo]

FAKE!

[NeoTodesklingel]

I guess... : D

- Padded...

- Pipes and Device installed on the Inside : D

- Therefore, Steam like it's breathing could be produced. : D

For a "living" Animal,

this Moose moved really less... ... in Fact: It doesn't moved in the first Place xD

This Animal looks pretty d~eeeaaad... : D

[mugwump6970]

@NeoTodesklingel oh yes.. I have nothing better to do than make up a fake moose. Look at friendly moose 2 does that look fake? why is it that people always have to make negative comments and just cant enjoy videos.

[MrPenobe]

@mugwump6970 lol right as if that moose is not capable of standing still and looking in one area for 17 sec i see them do things like that all the time. Nice video. Tho if that was my state it's not good to tame animals or go close to them even if they let you as they would get shot easily by hunters or cause accidents.

[chaingling42]

@mugwump6970

neo fellow doesnt have a clue, ballsy to pet a moose

[TheXcaliber223]

@mugwump6970 did it have any choclate

[Lisajo1960]

@mugwump6970 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.....I agree...no negative comments people! Just enjoy!

[Antoonio21]

@NeoTodesklingel you are an idiot, you can see the moose breathing you retard......you should be raped by this moose

[NeoTodesklingel]

Bitchson, shut up. ; ) @Antoonio21

Go and troll somewhere else, Kid.

[caporalchef4]

@NeoTodesklingel LOL!!! The idiocy of some people on the internet never cease to amaze me...

[NeoTodesklingel]

Naah, @caporalchef4

it would be Idiocy to just believe that the Moose is real.

'Cause it looks SOOO much like it's only padded...

[caporalchef4]

@NeoTodesklingel I've hunted and been around wild animals all my life and this kind of encounter in inhabited areas is not unusual during winter time. You must be a city boy. The moose doesn't move because it's stund at the close presence and touching of a human being, wich is pretty fuckin dangerous, BTW. I think people have better things to do than make up fake moose, kid. It's pretty fuckin bad when all people argue about on YT is wether or not a vid is fake...

[NeoTodesklingel]

Well, okay then...? @caporalchef4

What if you are right?? Is this then not HELLA dangerous?

It is, right? You wrote this yourself.

So does this not make the Guy in the Video of complete Imbecil? =_=

And No, i am not a City Boy. I am a "Village Boy" in his Twentys ; P

It's just that i don't have Moose's living near me, as a German.

But i know that they can weigh over 800 Kilo's, so... ... oO

[caporalchef4]

@NeoTodesklingel Guten Tag! I wouldn't go as to say that he's an imbecile...Just a little too brave for his own good, in my opinion...Auf vieder sehen von Kanada!

[NeoTodesklingel]

Thanks : 3 @caporalchef4

Oh well, it's not that i would just like to insult him.

But "little to brave" is pretty much define it down, is it?

He is v~eeery lucky that this huge Animal didn't smashed him down.

What is he doing if it would suddenly attack him?

I guess he would be pretty screwed...

Wiedersehen aus Niedersachsen : ]

[caporalchef4]

@NeoTodesklingel Yeah, and those things can run fast, too! There is another more fucked up video here, it's the first in the right side bar called ''friendly moose''. It was filmed not too far from my place. I suggest you take a look, you won't believe it.(figure of speech, of course, LOL)

[Cheetree1]

@NeoTodesklingel its called steam

[RobbytheLion]

It looks taxidermied.

[mammajama7]

amazing, i would probably have shot it tho lol.

me: *spts the moose, jumps out of bed, runs to gun rack, shoots for the kill*

[jfos1982]

I want one as a pet!! Call her Doris!!!

[mrtoughpants]

Wow amazing.

[Tilan123]

You champ! Next time give him a big hug mate!

[davidls11]

Two guys in a moose suit.

[smde1]

I;m not so sure anyone is getting the real picture ... The Moose was fixated on something that we could not see in the video - and it did not view the man as any sort of threat but it seemed to be fixated on something that it DID consider a threat - perhaps a large grizzly bear and the moose was hoping the man would make easier prey - moose thinking ... I don;t have to outrun the bear , just have to outrun you ...

[SkInHoUnD]

@smde1 Yes....Joe Jerkoff is petting a wild beast that weighs up to 1500Lbs all the while a large grizzly bear is in view of the moose....

Just because the docile moose is so common, lets throw in a fucking grizzly bear. Shit, lets throw in a velociraptor.

Moose thinking folks.

smde1 isn't capable of human cognition, so instead he thinks like a fucking moose. A 3 legged moose with downs syndrome.

[stamco6]

that's super cool!

[pittsky]

Moose harm/kill more people in Canada than any other animal, including bears.

Your nutz to be that close.

[TheMooseSociety]

This makes us very happy :D

And apparently the two people that missed the like button are moose haters >:(

[gregmeir]

you crazzy basterd that moose whoud of turnn on you you whoud of ban fuck

[Snipe4261]

Personally, I would be more cautious around a wild animal that size.

[searching4answers100]

I've always wondered what would happen if you eased up on a moose and gave it food. I know they are not carnivorous so they wouldn't try to eat you. But I thought that they would attack because of fear. 

[MrEhud77]

you don't see that everyday!

[theloosegoose333]

Yea those horses like to pull pranks all the time, dressing up like moose and letting people pet them, they get a real laugh out of that. I suppose some people do not believe that moose’s landed on the moon either!

[MrMoto81]

dood i might be wrong but i think he probobly trained it or some shit like that

[yabodmon]

yea friendly cuz there was somthin waiting for it in the tree line there...did n e one notice how the moose was staring in one direct spot?

[SmalltimR]

A moose costume on a horse LMAO!

[MrMrtiki]

Man thats risky but obvisiously some old lady has been feeding her in her garden all year.

[QuornPigPie]

Alright Mr.Moose.

[BlackListKing1992]

its a fake u idiots...

look at it . it wont move at all...

[QuornPigPie]

@BlackListKing1992 It's breathing :| Fool

[mothatrucka22]

@BlackListKing1992 your a plug fuck off do fake moose breathe dumbass

[KSCrosby]

@mothatrucka22

please use intelligent language to argue your point. It's more convincing, and I'm

SOOOOO sick of seeing the "F" word on Youtube!

[Supergoose2]

that looks like a horse with amoose mask.

[mugwump6970]

Let me guess.... you live in the city...... and your 10 years old

[killerkoala1993]

@mugwump6970 HAHAHAHHA omg your a bad ass.. moose usualy arnt that nice. I lived in alaska for 10 years.. seriously thats so awesome

[sdemp321]

@Supergoose2 lol

[killerkoala1993]

@Supergoose2 id love to see you try to get a moose costume on a horse... dumb shit

[KSCrosby]

@Supergoose2

it's a moose, there's a hump on his back

[Xgames13]

@Supergoose2

A moose is about as big as a horse.

You fail.

[backyardandrew]

wow

[soccerchicz8]

that moose is so nice

[patriotgyrl65]

When I lived in Vermont, we were always taught that if moose were friendly like this, they were probably sick...they get some brain disease, not rabies, but it wastes their brain away...I don't know I just thought it was really strange to see a moose being that friendly...

[rid3emcowgurl]

@patriotgyrl65 - After watching this video a few times, I agree. It may have that blue tongue disease (or whatever its called) that kills off deer. I dont know though; Im just taking a guess.

[BoboBobbins]

@patriotgyrl65 I don't think it's sick I think its fake bacause the moose doesnt move at all.

[patriotgyrl65]

@BoboBobbins ...Yeah, I see what you mean...but there is breath or air or something coming from the moose...IF it is a real moose, I would bet there is something very wrong with it...I do know that being very docile is one of the symptoms of this brain disease that they get. It is like something that deer get and makes them tame and kinda dumb founded. A lot of the deer hit by cars have it, cos it eats their brain and they lose their senses...it's really sad.

[CCCrrrTTT]

wow

[venison13]

strange

[liquifyr]

Anyone who thinks this is staged obviously can't tell the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground.I live a half a click down the road from these fine people and encountered the same moose..

[skaterman312]

maybe the moose has hotter breath

[michaelh6]

fake, look at the difference between how breath naturally comes out(man breathing on the left) and disappears compared to the way the smoke just hangs around...

[mugwump6970]

Well duh!! of course the man breathing is going to be different than the animal breathing. This is not fake. Real animal. its the same moose as in friendly moose 2.

[rid3emcowgurl]

@michaelh6 - Umm, its not fake. Large animals' breath is always like that when they're relaxed and/or listening (herbivores mostly - horses, cows, etc.), which is what the moose seems to be doing.  Its to that they can hear better without the distraction of heavier breating.

[drauglintuor]

You got some balls doin that, but it's nice seeing people and animals bein friendly with each other like this.

[yodafreak721]

what a dumbass, thats all im saying

[jblackrupert]

All fun and games until it gets spooked and tramples you.

Stupid shit like this is what causes

wild animals to be put down because

they have no fear of humans and end

up injuring or killing someone.

Moose are very calm animals but

they can fuck you up in an instant

if they decide they don't like somethng

your doing,

[rid3emcowgurl]

@jblackrupert - Yea wild animals can be unpredictable but so can domestic ones. Horses spook and run over, trample, knock down, etc. they're handlers all the time (trust me, Ive been working with horses for 14 years). The moose isnt even watching the guy petting it. The man is standing still and not making any sudden movements. The chances of the moose suddenly attacking him, versus running away from him, are slim to none. Moose are prey animals. Their instincts tell them to run, not fight.

[jblackrupert]

The fact remains. humans should not be treating wild animals like they are pets.

Many collisions between wild animals and humans are a direct result of people feeding them and treating them like a pet.

[mikaila31]

Not as much as a horse though. Sure if the moose lives around people it may of learned to trust them. Moose are very dangerous and can easily charge you with their antlers. It is a much more aggressive animal than a horse.

[rid3emcowgurl]

@mikaila31 - You've never worked with some of the nasty horses I have! lol jk. I agree with you that moose are probably more unpredictable than horses since they are typically completely wild. The point I was trying to make is just that domestic animals can sometimes be very unpredictable, just like wild ones :-)

[Blackhawkflygirl]

You said it! :-) I have a Quarter horse/ Paint cross and he's ill-tempered. He bites, cribs,kicks, rolls in dirt right out of the wash-rack, sidesteps, runs people into fences.... but I love him. The moose around here in NH are fairly docile too. :)

[rid3emcowgurl]

LOL I'm glad SOMEONE agrees with me! :-P

[Dylonthevillon]

where is this in northern bc becouse i live in fort saint john

[MeSeeUTube]

Hmmm...hard to tell if this is a real moose or not. Moose can stand really still. Looks like his eyes are moving.

If this is real, then you are one crazy guy !

[Detomidine]

It breathes, therefore it's alive. :)

[jar288]

ha next day in paper, man gets trampled by moose haha

[YouLannePanne]

Lucky

[Adrienmodano11]

is this northern alberta

[mugwump6970]

nope. northern BC

[billoakesattablthree]

You are lucky, they fear nothing and will attack without provocation. Beautiful animal but seriously treat these guys with respect , they will attack an 18 wheeler - I know this for a fact.

[jjhays36]

More stupidity by a person wanting to be injured or killed by a wild animal. This is illiegal in Alaska and moose attacks are far more common than bear attacks.

[cakesofdeath]

That moose is dead. stuffed or something. with a kettle rigged up in its head.

[battousaiblade]

then how come we see it's breath?

[strongmeasures]

I agree. This is fake. The ears don't even twitched once. Nothing moves on the moose. I suspect the "breath" is smoke they rigged up somehow. That is not a real or living moose.

[moontoot]

ya it's a cg'ed moose...lmao?

[mugwump6970]

Not staged. Real moose

[MAXYAHR1]

What an awesome experience this must have been. This is why I only hunt whitetail, moose are so majestic.

[mimsmagz]

A moose was destroyed by officials in New Fane,VT. last week for exhibiting the same "no fear" behavior.Officials with En Con stated that it probably had a "brain worm".The parasite causes them to show no fear,but they die a slow death.Better to euthanize it...

[shanegiggie]

OK people...It is not natural behaviour for a moose to get that close to a human...

It can happen....This moose 's ears remain high and its eyes are not bulging ...all good signs...

This peaceful encounter is a one in a million animal that has gotten over its fear of humans ...or at least this human...

...for the time being...

NOT RECOMMENDED...MOOSE ARE DANGEROUS...at any moment that moose could rear up and trample him to death!

Wild animals are not interractive cartoon characters...

[aurrorra]

And fuckers want to kill these animals!!

[AdamHockey73]

they taste awsome! moose stew is my favorite

[tomboehmpdot]

thats awesome ive only been able to do that to a deer.. but that was in a community where they were protected obviously.. i wanna pet a moose

[waxanimalparts]

what a cute moose!

[shairaptor]

Right paganmas, 95% of outube's users are stupid kiddies with no life doing moronic comments

[shairaptor]

Youtube's

[fineartofdestruction]

kinda ironic isnt it that you just fit yourself into that category hah

[shairaptor]

same to you hah

[boknutsson]

Thats not real ffs fokes hahah, they've just put something behind the head that air runs trough, the moose dont moves?!!!! hahah lol bad vid

[zanastux]

the moose is blinking you idiot...

[cowcrap2]

Wow. Very very cool. Although extremely risky. What a great moose though. Classicly fantastic.

[Mooseyquaker55]

aww i wanna do that :(

[HuskyBoi23]

i agree to disagree...it would be domesticated had he attempted to ride the moose. because then, it would have no longer would have been considered as "wild"

[lynneviolet]

where was this filmed? I'm from smithers love the vid

[rena02]

I am from smithers bc, where this was shot. My had a moose come right up to the front door. He gave him a pet and the moose wanted to get closer to him. my dad threw a carrot out on to the road to get him to go. I think the moose wanted to be adopted. lol. It can be dangerous but if a mosse approaches there isn't much else you can do but be kind and give some love. lol

[phishlicker]

You people are calling this guy stupid. But the whole point is that the moose LET the human that close to her/him. Maybe the moose could sense that this particular human was cool, and would tolerate or maybe even enjoy the close contact with a different species. Stranger things have happened! Great video.

[curtmang]

Bearnuggets, speaking as a graduate with a diploma in natural resources (focusing on wildlife), both sexes actually possess a bell. The only true way to distinguish between the two is that cows have a white "vulva" patch just below their stubby tail. Antlers can also be used to distinguish males from females. However, a vast majority of males lose their antlers during the winter. I'd suggest you get your facts straight before commenting on something you know little about. Great video mugwump!

[bearnuggets]

Hahah I like how people need to get there knowledge out there, very concerned haha. Woodworker3000 refers to this moose as a "her" when the bell on its neck only is present with males. Meaning its a him. Knowledge. Pet away.

[mugwump6970]

thanks bearnuggets. Cant people just enjoy the video and keep their stupid comments to themselves.

[paganmas]

This is youtube where 95 percent of comments are stupid.

[68hemidart]

He probably would have been seriously injured if this was a cow with her calf. I really don't think that this is a "domesticated" moose. It obviously knows that humans for the most part are not out to hurt it. Try to domesticate a great white shark.... go ahead try and pet one and see if it takes to you.

[RenegadeOfFunk08]

This guy could of gotten seriously hurt trying to do this.

[36cfrocksmysox123455]

hahaha that isnt friendly haha look at it blowing the steam out (iknows its cold out also but still)

[BelligerentAuthority]

It will associate humans with food now

[Woodworker3000]

Is this dude stupid, NEVER TOUCH A WILD ANIMAL> A GAME WARDEN WOULD OBVIOUSLY TELL U THAT!! JUST ONE TOUCH OF THAT ANIMAL AND THE ANIMAL WILL ALWAYS COME RIGHT BACK CUZ IT'S TURNED DOMESTICATED LIKE A REGULAR HOUSE CAT OR DOG.

[hubbadubchub]

Yeah, I think so, what people don't understand is that wild or demestocated animals are dangerous and unpredictable!

[Woodworker3000]

He must be pretty damn stupid 2 do that cuz anytiome during his encounter with hthis moose that moose could have charged him and killed him cuz it's unpredictable!

[jbxenia]

He's not exactly jumping and waving his arms around and yelling at the thing, no reason for it to attack without warning. Wild animals aren't completely unreasonable, they just give more subtle warnings than we're used to.

How he got that CLOSE to her is another matter, that's a heck of a lot more dangerous than what he's doing here.

[Woodworker3000]

U missed my whole point!!! My point is that that moose will no longer be wild it's oing 2 turn domesticated cuz this idiot patted this moose. THe moose could attack him for touching her cuz he's being careless. Never let ur guard down around any wild creature.

[TiffyS21]

HOLY SWEET JESUS.....that hardly ever happens!!...great video!!

[corkeythewoo]

wow thats nuts! i saw a dude try to get close to a moose when i was a kid and he ended up with 3 broken ribs and needed facial reconstruction! But.... this freakin rox

[AngelsWithAttitude1]

I love moose...Its actally a shame that People kill them!!!!

[nanouche13]

ho my god I saw a couple in the maine road while going to old orchard I got scare to hit one with my car !!!

[bryneyk]

ees moose! vere ees sqvirrel?!

[waitingontheworld8]

aw :) i love moose, i can understand how they trample people... you wouldnt like it if some1 got near ur baby would u??

[burgerfingers1286]

didnt expect that i thought the moose would attack

[theotherjesse]

The moose has brain worm. It doesn't matter if he associates humans with food he's not a wolf, bear, or gator. He's not going to be eating anyone. The danger of a moose is if you get in it's territory during rutting season. People can't get brain worm though many hooved animals including sheep and goats can. It's spread when the animals eat infected snails and is not always deadly. It is rarely deadly in white tailed deer. The brain can recover but may have lasting lesions.

[Piatnitskysaurus]

and the moose meets a monkey with a jar of marmalade, mmm mmm-hmmm....

[dalepoulette]

brave, my uncle killed a moose like that, but first him and he's friend took a few pictures with it. then took a axe, wacked him in the neck. lafford and poulette.

[Battleloser]

Badass!

[NetMyster66]

thats not fake u retard. Its not smoke coming out of his mouth. Its steam from his breather. U get that when its cold u faget

[chicklet1524]

ha ha ha, that is awsome. the moose looks like he's in shock kinda... lol, but thats amazing

[suneyer]

Fake! That's smoke coming out of the nose

[FullmetalAngyl]

If you're gonna flame the TOTAL IDIOT who's LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, do it for approaching a wild moose (because they are big, stupid and generally unpredictable) to snap pictures, THEN FLAME THE MORON TAPING "TOTAL IDIOT" FOR NOT STOPPING HIM! THAT THING'S REAL! AND NOW IT ASSOCIATES HUMANS WITH FOOD!

[Piatnitskysaurus]

I agree

[FullmetalAngyl]

Thanks, nice to know Someone does.

[alphasaucier]

Lots of moose where you live? Moose expert? Mooseologist? Dr. of Mooseology? Or do you just like to bawl in all caps about things you know little about? Moose aren't that dangerous unless they have calves or are in rut. As far as food association goes, the farmland in the background of the user's other videos makes me think that moose has already figured that out...

[stuhrw]

dude......you got some nads!

[cucumb]

wow. please more vids of the moose..lol

[sweetsolitaryman666]

awesome...i usually ran for my life from a moose. lol

[latte123]

Great! Nice "pet moose"! :-)

[ronnietucker]

Yeah, your right, largest thing I get in my garden is a fox. :D

[ronnietucker]

Personally I think its a special effects prop.. ;P

[mugwump6970]

OH Ron your just jealous! :)
