The giant moose probably spooked the salmon as it charged past anglers on Alaska’s Kenai River this week, but they seemed too impressed by the animal to care. The accompanying footage, shared Friday by Kenai River and Company, shows the moose in the river eyeing the boat’s occupants before rising to sprint past them to access the woods.

North Carolina, known for its picturesque landscapes and rich biodiversity, is also home to some potentially dangerous wildlife. Among these, the American black bear (Ursus americanus) stands out not only for its size and power but also for its role in rare yet serious human-wildlife conflicts. Despite their generally timid nature, black bears can pose significant risks under certain circumstances.

Black Bear Encounters in North Carolina: How Deadly Are They?

While many websites claim that bears hate certain scents, the effectiveness of most of these repellents alone is questionable.

NPS Ruling On Bear Baiting In Alaska Draws Mixed Reaction

For many, the ambient sound of the woods—birds chirping, streams gurgling, and leaves rustling in the trees—is one of the main draws of spending a weekend camping. The natural symphony of the forest floor is not just a delightful combination of sounds; it’s been scientifically linked to improved focus and relaxation.

Some Alaskan anglers went out on the Kenai River to catch some fish, and though they probably did reel in more than a couple of catches, the biggest moment of the day came when a massive moose crashed their fishing spot.

Now to be clear, it's not uncommon to see a moose running about in Alaska. There is an estimated population of about 200,000 in our northern-most-state. However, humans rarely ever get to witness a sizable creature like this showing its upmost physical capabilities.
