It’s not every day that you’re walking through the woods and see a battle between moose and car.
Chris Devlin was in Boulder County, Colorado when he saw a massive bull moose damaging a stranger’s car with its antlers and captured the moment on camera. Devlin was not the owner of the empty vehicle, but did leave a note that the owner found once he returned.
Authorities say that moose act “ornery” during rutting or mating season, which lasts through early October for moose.
According to Colorado Parks & Wildlife, “Getting too close to wildlife can be very dangerous, especially during the rut. The rule of thumb is to hold your thumb up over the animal at a distance. If your thumb covers the animal’s body entirely, you are likely a safe distance away. It is also important to remember to never feed wild animals. Do not risk your safety to take a photo of an animal.”
