Moose chased by a bear stops to look back; ‘Are you still coming?’

Wes Larson, a wildlife biologist in Montana, was checking an empty campsite where a fatal bear attack had occurred when he spotted a moose. So he decided to start filming.

“It ended up being a better video than I expected,” Larson wrote on X, where he posted the video.

That’s because the moose started running towards him, chased by a bear.

The moose stopped in front of Larson’s vehicle to turn around and see if the bear was still in pursuit. If he could talk, the moose might have said, “Are you coming?”

The moose later realized that the bear was indeed still approaching. Larson filmed the chase as it continued down the dirt road.

Ultimately, the bear was unable to capture the moose.

Larson stated on his Instagram post that that bear ended up grazing on clover in a nearby field.

Larson, who hosts a podcast about animal attacks, was visiting Soda Butte Campground, where in 2010 a man was pulled from his tent, killed and eaten by a grizzly bear. Larson discussed the story on his podcast last July, prompting the visit last Tuesday.
