Ontario. Was excited by the moose sighting,
.
A Canadian YouTuber captured an epic
wolf versus moose battle deep in the
Ontario wilderness in a video that has
surged in popularity online.
Dan Nystedt was using a drone to shoot
a moose majestically surveying its
surroundings, standing in the shallow
water near the shore of a pristine lake.
A wolf abruptly emerges from the tree
line, interrupting Nystedt’s tranquil vision
of natural beauty.
The fight that ensues has been viewed
more than 1.7 million times online since
it was posted on Monday. Popular
podcaster and natural predator
enthusiast Joe Rogan retweeted
the video to his 3.6 million strong
Twitter audience on Tuesday. The
tweet has been liked more than 750
times and retweeted by more than
200 people.
The wolf was the clear aggressor,
wading into the water towards the moose.
The moose uses its size advantage
throughout the six minutes of footage,
keeping the wolf at a distance with its
powerful hooves. The pair charge and
retreat several times before the wolf
makes its move, sinking its teeth deep
into the moose’s massive leg.
The moose eventually drags the wolf
into deeper water as the fight intensifies,
circling and kicking at its persistent
opponent. The aggressive canine
doggedly holds on.
The pair separate after the moose
submerges into the water and marches
away, turning periodically as the wolf
swims in pursuit.
The wolf makes a last effort, bounding
through the water towards the moose,
but to no avail.
