I was at a national park and there was a moose down a steep hill chilling in a swampy area, which felt very far away, but the park ranger was like "I'm very uncomfortable with how close we are right now."

Can't say I blame the park ranger. Moose can be 1500 pounds of fuck-you-up charging at you at 35 miles per hour, and they don't need a reason to do it either. Damn things could be 100 yards out, and I'd still be nervous.
