You know, we, as people who write about animals all day every day, think that we know our stuff. We know animals pretty dang well. But… we also know that a lot of the information we get is from pictures, and pictures of animals, accurate as they may be, can also be misleading. And some things about animals, despite all our knowledge… manage to surprise us. Like just how giant animals can be.
We're not just talking about unknown, obscure animals, like the giant spider crab or the Lion's Mane jellyfish. We're talking regular animals. Do you know how big dogs can get?! Do you know how big fish can get?! We didn't either, and then we saw. And today, we saw a moose. Yup. Just a moose. We know what moose look like. Or so we thought. We kind of forgot… just how giant they are. And the internet is right there with us.
Now, before you scroll forward… prepare yourself. Whatever you're imagining will be on your screen in a second, we promise it's not even close to the truth. We don't even know how to prepare you for it, we only know that we must. Because your jaw is about to be on the floor.
Yup. Look at the size of that thing. Casually munching on the leaves at the top of that tree. Casually reaching beyond the height of those first floor windows. Casually reminding us of just how friggin' scary nature can be. We generally think of moose as quite cute, not as Godzilla.
