Feel like going on a moose-safari? The moose is the the largest deer living a solitary life browsing in the northern forests. So if you are so lucky to see a real moose, you are more than likely to see a single one. Unless you encounter it during the mating season or a mother with her calf of course. The strongest bond between moose is that of a mother to her calf. Though solitary, moose populations tend to follow the same migratory trends. During breeding season, moose congregate together as they look for a mate.
Occasionally, during deep winter, small herds will form and help pack down the snow so they can move around. Male moose, bulls, compete for females in elaborate shoving matches. Occasionally fatal wounds are received. In general, moose are not aggressive towards people. However, female moose are very protective of their calves and will charge if you get to close. Also, moose in general are very predictable and, while they usually do not charge humans, there is not guarantee that a moose will not.
