A 70-year-old Alaska man who was attempting to take photos of two newborn moose calves was attacked and killed by their mother, authorities said Monday.
The man killed Sunday was identified as Dale Chorman of Homer, said Austin McDaniel, a spokesperson for the Alaska Department of Public Safety.
The female moose had recently given birth to the calves in Homer.
“As they were walking through the brush looking for the moose, that’s when the cow moose attacked Dale,” McDaniel said.
Also a Wyoming resident and people are just downright dumb when it comes to wildlife. Frankly anything that is taller than your knees can kill you if it really wants to. Stay the hell away from it!
My wife came across a wolverine while trail riding. She thought it was a grumpy badger. He was growling and clearly meant business.
I was once watching a grizzly and cub way up near the treeline, from a well hidden spot. Then we saw the wolverine and the bear smelled it around the same time and took off with her cub at a swift trot.
We agreed and hid more until we were sure the wolverine wouldn’t see us, then trotted away ourselves. Two of the world’s most badass predator species just scrambling to get away from the little murder rug. Won’t forget that.
I’m just going to fly over Wyoming, thanks.
Both of you are in this thread! What are the odds?
