A few weeks ago in Alaska, James Clark and his dog Starbuck were supposed to go visit their friend Ted.

But when they stopped the car in front of Ted’s house, they stayed frozen in their seats.

For there, feeding in Ted’s front yard, stood a HUGE animal. In fact, the animal was so big that Starbuck couldn’t help but let a few low growls out. After all, something this big was surely a danger to his owner, right?

Moose moves along

Well, Starbuck isn’t wrong. The animal in question was a moose! Moose are immense animals that can reach 8 feet in height. While they’re generally peaceful when not threatened, they can become aggressive under certain circumstances – and when you’re dealing with an animal of that size, it’s just best to stay away.

So Ted and Starbuck waited patiently for the animal to move along before they headed to Ted’s house. What an incredible encounter!
