Four Kids Get An Up-Close-And-Personal Look At A Moose In Their Backyard

We most often only get to see large animals up close in zoos and on safaris. While it's better to leave these beautiful animals alone, as they can potentially pose a threat to humans, it's still incredible to be in their presence. In the wild, it's never advised to willingly get up close to one, but sometimes, they don't leave us much choice: this cyclist found himself cornered by two friendly moose! But he reacted the way he should have in the presence of a wild animal by standing still and giving them their space.

When faced by a similar situation, these kids also had the presence of mind to err on the safe side. Whether it was by instinct or because they were mesmerized by the massive animal in front of them, they did the right thing.

Four kids are casually jumping on the trampoline, when a massive moose walks out of the woods and stands right in front of them. At this moment, we can't imagine how scared the children must have been! The animal is very intimidating, and any movement they make can cause the moose to react unexpectedly. But the moose stays calm, and is just curious to see the trampoline and the children up close.

Watch the entire clip to see how this moose reacts to the sight!
