It’s an elevated median. The guy is shooting from his car, so he probably is at 4 feet or maybe lower.

How does that look any different than all of these other pictures?

The moose in that pic is about half the size of the one in the video.

You can tell because of the vehicles in the back, right?

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.

I don't get what's so funny about that. You have to contextualize the image. And you have to use the evidence shown. That includes the cars and the tree and other evidence.

Those other things and the moose have to be equidistant from the camera if you’re going to use them for context. They aren’t.

Depends on what you mean by fake. Do I still think the video purposefully misrepresented the size of the creature, yes. Do I think there really was a large moose walking down the highway,, yes.

Moose are insanely huge which tells you how badass wolves are because they hunt them.

Forget the moose, I had no idea the average human height. So far the shortest OT member is 6'4"

We got 6'4", 6'5", and 6'8". Might want to make a basketball team.

Fella, the creature is on an elevated median and the driver shooting the video is dragging arse on pavement in a Honda civic. That's a pretty big moose, but it didnt take a bath in the ninja turtles ooze.

Or it could just appear enormous because it’s elevated on the median and it’s closer to the camera than the cars in the background. ?



And the camera is pretty low. Shooting from a low angle always exaggerates the height of things in the foreground. The SUV seems lower than the camera. -or the same level - thus making it seem the moose gigantic.

How the he'll do you think the movies make Tom Cruise seem over 6 feet tall? Camera angles and low spots on the floor for taller actors to stand in.
