It's no laughing matter..

A friend is riding from Toronto to Deadhorse Alaska then from Deadhorse to Ushuaia Patagonia. He's recently arrived in Deadhorse and had 5 encounters with Moose(seseses??)

Fook!

Yeah, even deer can make a complete mess of a car, can't even imagine what a moose can do to a bike. I've seen a couple of black bears on my travels, but no moose yet.

I ive in Canada. Moose are dangerous - they are tall and at sunrise/sunset you will see them wandering. I hate driving through areas where they are common. Driving across remote places like Newfoundland is best done in full daylight. I have done it and not a relaxing experience.

When I worked in Sweden, at certain times of the year or day, you would drive with an 'Elk-spotter' who task was to watch out for Elks. In all seriousness, due to their height and bulk, thay can decapitate a driver. The only advice if they cross in front of you is ; steer to the rear, they never walk backwards.

Latterly, Volvo devised a thermal imaging device to warn for elks, humans and other animals roaming at night.

I think the reference was to thermal imaging capability.
