We live in an area of Mass where you would never expect to see wild animals....never mind a moose! Well, since man has taken away their homes these poor animals don't know where to go...I have had a silver fox, 22 deer and an opossum in my back yard...not to mention coyotes running up the road with a bunny in it's mouth..
About a month ago we had a baby moose (they estimated weight at 500#) get hit on the highway...a SUV with 2 young girls (one is pregnant) hit it...they never even saw it...they looked up and it was there...they knocked it down but, the 18 wheeler that was behind them going 70 MPH hit it dead on...well, I don't need to go into graphic details to tell you what it looked like...it was horrible! Hubby and I came up on this after it happened...needless to say it wasn't a pretty site...couldn't even tell what had been hit.. Moose can cause ALOT of damage to vehicles...not to mention most people don't survive an accident like this...I am always afraid one will run out in front of me...we have had alot of sitings around here and we are considered a city....
