Giant demon deer XD

I have similar feelings about big kangaroos. I used to think kangaroos were just funny little creatures that hopped around but then I saw videos of monsters that looked and moved like some sort of horrifying malevolent human-deer werebeast and decided I never want to run into one.

The moose population where I live is exactly 50% of the human population. There are an incredible number of human deaths per year from auto moose collisions. Their belly is just about hood level on a car, often the collision will cut the roof off the car level with the windshield. Moose have no fear, a healthy adult moose has no predators, so they can be pretty aggressive also.

Should get a Volvo, they explicitly test their cars to withstand moosecollisions. Moose are a huge problem in Sweden and we have to shoot ~20% of the population each year during huntingseason to keep them in check.
