BBC: Bull Moose Battle - A Moose Named Madeline

[Sorvos]

Over a ton? What? Moose go as much as 800 kgs for very, very large bulls.

[ownzz33]

look at the mooses eye at 23 seconds

[MykesterMachinima]

@ownzz33 lol

[TheReddyMovement]

first



[DIRTYSANCHEZ391]

great shots there buddy, i think you zoomed in a little too much

[mrmunkyman1]

Teddy roosevelt rode one of these whilst out hunting

[FirestoneX]

That moose gave me a bad time once.

[CrazyTop21]

my mums a moose

[MrWtfisgoingonhere]

in soviet russia bull moose watches humans fight!! lol

[DrCadbury89]

@MrWtfisgoingonhere haha ! :]

[gamesbok]

Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer, had a pet moose.  It got drunk at a party and fell down stairs.

[XHermit4Life]

whats ter-tree? or does he mean territory?

[dizzydreamaway]

@XHermit4Life lol you American?

[XHermit4Life]

@dizzydreamaway Nah, I'm canadian :)

[fiddlebender88]

Madeline? Seriously?

[MrAnzety]

dude, zoom the fuck out

[PodieRho77]

1.01 bloodied and bruised, the loser concedes the territory.. 'yeah' SAYS THE MOOSE! intelligence!

[marcos509]

MOOSE JERKY I MUST HAZ

[incedius420]

Moose are friendly for the most part. It depends on the time of year. A female with a young calf will charge you down an stomp your ass, but six months later in the winter the same moose will eat out your hand an let you touch it.

[rattatoi888]

@incedius420 in norway they will run away at first sight or sent of you

[potatohead5309]

@incedius420

Holy crap man. They're prey animals and are genetically progammed (and taught by their mothers) to either run away or stomp you into ground. If they eat from your hand they're not wild moose. No wild animal is 'friendly.'

[MooneyFUN]

BBC foley artists must get lots of work in.

[wedingo]

So... which one is Madeline ?

[springerjkreb]

@pjotrvl Friendly? Haha, friendly? Moose is one of the craziest animals out there, would kill you soon as look at you! You think carnivores are bad, more often than not it's the herbivores that'll stomp your face in.

Friendly. Heh, that's funny.

[cd2m]

i love how these cock suckers zoom in so much you can't even see whats going on.

[dogshitballs]

that was lame editing bbc. you can tell they didnt have a good shot and couldn't be fucked waiting for another moose fight, so they just edited in close ups of shit that wasn't even the fight

[wedingo]

@dogshitballs the problem is that they missed the real fight.. so they used fake moose heads to simulate what happened.

[tkuppal92]

ZOOM OUT

[moosesteak7]

MMMmmmmm....moooose

[suncheets1]

well one moose has sharp as fuck antlers and one has ice cream scoops

[goose1127]

would have been better if you would have backed off a little on teh camera so you could actually see the fight...

[Powermetal122]

I wish I could implant intelligence into the brains of bull moose, then hire them out to be security guards for my home. I would have moose guards.... can you imagine having moose guards? Yea, no one fucks with moose guard.

[jtoregan]

@Powermetal122 power metal sucks

[imhavingaball]

I could shoot the biggest bull moose in Sweden, and it wouldn't be half the size of these beasts lol

[MikeBones11]

this cameraman needs to get fired

[suncheets1]

@MikeBones11 just as im thinking "ow its bbc it cant be that bad. but wow he needs to get assasinated

[schroyerta]

which one to shoot? that is the question.

[chrystaljdd]

Missed everything, the camera was WAY to close. Seen the beginning and the end result. Maybe step back a little more next time?

[phothiboupha2]

the one on the right would be a record breaker

[willezille]

that moose is MAD eline

[MrKeizer100]

@pjotrvl They are very beautiful animals, but friendly? you try to make friends with one and see where you end up, probably up a tree somewhere wishing you had a gun to shoot it or dead with your face stomped in. I assume you're a vegetarian because moose meet is some of the best tasting meat in the world hands down. Its the cats meow

[awesomeness1367]

@MrKeizer100 oh my god yeah my friend let me have some and i just about exploded it was so good and they reproduce so fast they arent gonna go extinct

[haarstad88]

@pjotrvl ehy.. fuckface. theese animals are among the reason you live today. Elk, moose, reindeer and deer was the thing human survived on after the ice age !

[Vinnygil]

they dont weigh over a ton. they weight about 1700 1800 lbs. just under. lol its funny how BBC gets so much credit for good filming when they're only showing shots of portion's of the moose. they hardly get the full picture in. i don't know why. they must think that it makes it look more intense.

[Vinnygil]

they dont weigh over a ton. they weight about 1700 1800 lbs. just under

[buddhabassist]

I think it's cool how different their antlers are. You would think their genetics would be closer.

[winstonsmith60626]

too bad you have such a crappy cameraman, someone with talent might have gotten a really good combat sequence

[brknspacebar]

..this suks

[winterSTU]

the heaviest moose ever recorded is 820 kg, so I dunno wtf he's on about when he says weighing over a ton

[ProTuner06]

@winterSTU The world record moose was harvested in Alaska on September 5, 2004 by Eric Arnette. 75 inches wide and 36 points and green scored at approximately 264 B&C. The moose weighed in at over 2300 pounds! That's over a ton. This is a well known hunt in the moose hunting comunity so you were sorely misinformed.

[BumJuiceDrinker]

i would have like to ref that fight

[zackownsathalo3]

put down the camera slowly and grab my 30-06

[TheflyingL]

Sea monster-leviathan. Loser.

[joiles01]

@TheflyingL Basement dweller-TheflyingL. Loser.

[XrandomX10]

that fucking sucks! Stupid fucking camera man..jeezus

[moose875]

Camera's done this way so it isn't too bad to be put on tv on the BBC

[weslex100]

nice camera work geek

[Mooseracks]

GREAT VIDEO...But in the future...(just a tip) back it up a little (the ZOOM)

Luv to see the dirt and mud fly also..

Cheers

[ginalmac]

poor filming, can't see actual fight in a larger view...

[crazierob21]

no shit they dont realize how big it is..Im a Canadian! i live in north of saskatchewan , they usually weigh about 850 to 1500 lbs, the record is 1,800 in Alaska in 1897, by the way i shot a bull moose last two months ago and it was sweet! but very chewy!

[CptnBlues]

Agreed, the filming sucked totally. Too bad too, it could have been a good video.

The announcer says, "with each bull weighing in at over a ton"

I don't think so. Maybe close to a ton, but looked more like around 1400 to 1600 lb's to me.

Leave it to some BBC announcer who's never seen a live moose reading a script written by some geek who's rarely ever been outside, much less seen a live moose.

The should hire a fact checker and a new camera man.......lol

[weatherlight52]

Do moose have any natural predators when they're fully grown and they have their antlers?

[674367436743]

Moose loose there antlers in late fall, early winter. They dont give them much defence after that other than the razor sharp hooves, which they like to throw at there prey. But the timber wolf im packs have no trouble with the moose in deep snow with a hard icy crust...

[StarlingKnight]

@674367436743;

Yea, and their kicks are harded than most horses'

[StarlingKnight]

@weatherlight52;

Thick snows and pack of wolves isn't good combination. If large pack of wolves manage to lure moose bull running in so deep snow it has difficulties to take a step the moose doesn't have high chances to survive.

Usually wolves hunt down old and weak ones, not healthy adult mooses.

[ProTuner06]

@StarlingKnight 80% of moose and caribou population are killed by wolves every year hence the fish & game mission to reduce the wolf population by the means of chopper hunting. I've seen very large, healthy moose get killed by packs of wolves, where there was no snow in sight, with my own eyes as well as plenty of video. It's not just old weak moose being eaten by wolves. Tthroat and back and bring them down pretty fast. I know this for a fact.

[HalifaxHercules]

@ProTuner06 Don't forget coyotes are also decimating moose and caribou/reindeer populations as well.

In fact, Newfoundland caribou are close to endangered levels as coyotes keep attacking them, especially the young.

[fjg768]

a big ass moose

[negril94]

Kinda crappy!

[ihatenicknames]

thats the worst fight video i have seen, i couldnt tell who was winning till the end, you were so zoomed in, i could count his ticks.. pathetic.

[ktm144blitz]

people dont realize how fucking huge these things are

[6969Jimz6969]

they have huge antlers

[Alwolf153]

nice joc cameraman....we dont see a @$%?

[M4JEED]

thats not cool my nickname is moose XD

[freddygotfingered23]

fukin advertisements

[Megalodano]

random talk: MOOOOOOOOOSSSE

[Vexina]

seems to me they are intentionally censoring the "violence". i'm sure i'd go postal if they let me see 2 moose in all out fight. :o\

[robearth]

that's some really funny camera angles... : S

[hvsprod]

Nice... but I want to see the fight!

[DylanKwon]

Zoom out you dumb fuck. We all know you're 3 miles away.

[BreakYaHead]

fuk i could do a better job than these camera guys

[SStrangeMoFlo]

i've come face to face with a female moose in the wild.. all i had was my shovel... i was with a buddy but she was huge, i cant imagine a male... if she had wanted to she could crushed us

[KonnorDixon]

If anybody killed both of them, wow. Prize bulls

[winston5610]

In the Scandinavian countries they use a 25-kilo (55-pound)dog, just over knee-high to hunt moose. See the YouTube video ELG JAGER HUND; it's a hoot.

[blmooneyham]

What kind of dog?

[thegirl44]

Norwegian Elghundan, the Vikings brought them out of the swamp. There's great pictures and video of them online.

[TemplarX2]

hunt as tracker. The one who go for he kill is the hunter with a rifle.

[Cryo837]

It is disgusting that fat Billy Bob's (fat stomach beer drinkin losers) fly north to shoot these magnificent animals. I would like to see one of them getting mauled by a moose.....

[mooseCW]

Me 2

[Battleloser]

I don't fly! I take a greyhound!

[hujabuga]

what have you got against fat hunters? i know moose are great animals but without "fat stomach beer drinkers" the moose would all have to compete for food and when all there food went away it's bye bye moose!

[awsome1ninja]

the moose r big

[xFoolyCoolyx]

If you think these are big, look up the Irish Elk, an extinct deer

[asiaattik]

Sounds like Richard E Grant narrating.
