Moose Rampage

Join top experts and scientists from around the world as they examine the impact, and sometimes danger, of the increasing number of moose in urban and suburban communities. As human development sprawls and moose populations expand, these largest members of all deer species are increasingly rubbing shoulders with mankind. While these animals, which can weigh up to 1800 pounds, usually avoid human interactions, they can become quite dangerous. Each year, more than 200 motorists in the U.S. die and another 29,000 are injured due to vehicle collisions with moose and other deer species. In Prince George, British Columbia, moose have even taken up residence just off airport runways. Follow renowned moose experts as they examine the problems moose can bring to communities - including attacks on humans - and explore how man and moose can live together peacefully.
