Moose are scary beasties. Tho I'm a big fan of the "night danger" signs in Ontario -- makes me think of them as super heros rather than anything else.
We've run into a few on our way up the Gunflint trail. Thankfully they were all very well off to the side of the road and not having angry days. I've heard lots of horror stories bout moosies though. I'm just always afraid there's going to be one standing in the middle of the road after we turn a corner in Gunflint and he's gonna get real angry about the car being on HIS road.
Black bears are my favorite. They seem to follow me around, them and white tailed deer -- but deer are way more common up here. At our last house, we had two bears that dug through our garbage (kind of annoying) and just wandered around. It's scary having them around, but they're also really fun to watch (from a safe distance!!). These days we just have one occasional black bear who just kind of ambles through on his way to better places. Rien isn't toopid enough to even say "boo" to the bear, so we've never had any issues.
The big wild aminals are always so scary but yet so intriguing. It's hard for me to decide which emotion wins -- watch the bear, or run (walk calmly) inside.
