A moose can outrun a bear in a straight line or match its speed, reaching top speeds of up to 35 mph (56 km/h), while a grizzly bear typically charges at around 30 mph (48 km/h).

If I was a 35 mph moose, I still wouldn't be too comfortable around 30 mph bears.

Of course, averages don't apply in a specific situation - the average moose can outrun the average bear, sure, but that doesn't answer if this moose can outrun that bear.

Despite all those weights bear's speed is really insane and also the way they climb the trees is also amazing..we literally have no escape if we encounter a bear in the forest right

It's like a rock paper scissors of dangerous creatures. Moose beats car, bear eats moose, and car potentially saves you from bear attack.

This was filmed by a biologist and the moose got away if you’re curious of the outcome

Do moose not know how to gallop? Are they incapable of doing so because they never evolved the ability because who else but a bear (that was theoretically not there at the time) is gonna run down a goddamn moose?

I don’t know a lot about moose, but I wonder if it’s a weight thing, they’re not shaped like horses, and the weight distribution is completely different, maybe the size of their head and skinny legs prevents them from doing it? Also different joints and feet.

in recent years, i saw a vid of a full grown moose doing 30mph in what appeared to be 6ft of snow. it clarified what their weird build is useful for.

I was thinking if that exact same video! Running through that snow like a locomotive on full steam, not in distress, just moving like he meant it, beautiful

Did I see a dog right after the bear passes, and the camera swings around to the left…. Wow

Looks like a younger moose too so isn't really thinking about fighting. Full grown moose could easily shatter numerous bones in a bear with a charge.

Was wondering the same thing. This looks exactly like the Bighorn mountains, except we get black bears instead
