The determined moose approached the robotic maintenance tool, posturing and stomping on the ground in an attempt to frighten the lawnmower, as it continued along its route unfazed.

Failing to assert its dominance the moose turned its focus to snacking on the apple tree, before once again becoming distracted by the lawnmower.

The two parties continued their confrontational dance until the flustered moose eventually fled back into the surrounding wilderness.
