It was pretty quiet that morning at the park, when I decided to take the long way home, but I have a theory about moose and vehicles from my time in northern B.C. I think moose see vehicles as competitors for food, which is why the British Columbian moose would leave succulent weeds in watery ditches to run down the road in front of me. They were trying to draw my van away from their grazing area, much like robins trying to draw crows away from their nest. In this case, if I had steered my SUV towards the cut down poplars in front of this young moose, it probably would have become belligerent. Moose are related to cattle and only slightly smarter.
