Moose charges at man trying to pet it in Colorado

Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A man attempting to pet a moose on a Colorado road ended up getting only a scare when the large animal charged at him.

Amanda Danielson recorded video Thursday on a street in Frisco when a man claimed he pets moose all the time and attempted to demonstrate with a nearby animal.

The video shows the man creeping closer to the moose until the animal turns its attention toward him.

The moose charges at the man, but turns away before making contact. The moose's reaction appears to be enough to convince the man to abandon his plans.
