Why the moose is Canada's most dangerous animal
In short: While many fear predators, a common herbivore poses the greatest risk to humans in the Canadian wilderness. This documentary explores why these massive mammals are responsible for more casualties than any other wildlife species.
The film examines the behavior and habitats of moose, specifically highlighting their role in vehicular collisions. In Canada, more people are injured or killed by hitting a moose than by all other wildlife species combined.
The documentary provides evidence from Newfoundland—a region with the world's highest moose densities—to confirm their status as the country's most dangerous animal. It also addresses modern threats to the species, including human activity and climate change.
