re: I’ve been wrong my entire life about how big a moose actually is

I'm.
Not going to edit. That moose is larger than anything anyone's ever seen. They were doing weird angles or something because moose simply don't get that big.



That thing is at least 10 feet at the shoulder

It's real...that moose is probably not quite 7' at the shoulder 8'+ at rack/spine...

Perspective and median makes it look bigger...

But yes, they are bigger in person...

They kill people when cars hit them, because they're so tall the body crushes the cab of the car...

I saw a mom on the Kincaid trails once, thought I was dead because the calves were running around me. She looked right at me...I stayed still...she stayed til the babies passed, then she moved on...intense...she was a full head taller than me, and I'm 6'5"ish.
