Two men in Montana are lucky to be alive after a moose charged at them, despite ignoring warnings from residents to leave the animal alone.
Video obtained by Eyewitness News shows a group warning the two men to get away from the moose.
A man was charged at by a moose in Big Sky, Montana, on March 29, after ignoring warnings from locals to leave the animal alone.
Video recorded by Jason Holfensperger shows a group warning two men to move away from the moose. Holfensperger told Storyful the men were tourists visiting the area. The two men mock the local group’s concern and slowly approach the moose.
Holfensperger told Storyful that he was trying to communicate to the tourists that the animals can become aggressive when startled.
However, they didn't listen.
The video shows one of the men mocking the neighbor's concern and making gestures at the moose.
"It's a God damn wild animal, get the f*** away from it," the man is heard yelling in the video.
After one of the men touches the animal, the moose turns towards and suddenly begins to charge. The man falls over and begins to scramble away.
The person who recorded the video said neither men were hurt, other than some "bruised egos."
