@whesley hynes While it is certainly an important moral issue, I don't think throwing words like "evil" in the mix is helpful. We should all strive to minimize suffering, but we have to deal with juggling cost/benefit in the relative and the absolute. The extension of this is highlighted in the short story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", where all of society benefits from the subjugation and torture of one single child. Clearly, there is more to the issue than saying "the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few" when we're the architect of suffering when this thought makes our stomachs turn; that's why we agreed on basic human rights. But science itself is our best tool to minimize suffering and shoulders little of the blame. While horrendous things have been done "in the name of science", calling it evil is akin to burdening a sculptor's hammer with the blame because people have been killing others with hammers, these hard, unyielding, unforgiving tools of supposed evil ^^

Yeah, I have heard of it happening... but considering how little of the moose’s habit fits this specific scenario compared to the vast amounts that don’t. I do not believe an aquatic predator could compare to their terrestrial predators. Having lived for years in amongst these animals, I am absolutely certain the grizzly bear is an adult moose’s top predator, followed closely by the wolf. Black bears take many newborn calves in the spring, but it would be an astonishing rare scenario where one would take an adult. It’s not like moose makes up a large part of the orcas diet, where it is a staple for grizzlies and wolves.

Newborn humans are excellent swimmers! At birth, we instinctively know how to hold our breath, open our eyes and head for the surface. We can tread water , "dog paddle" and keep our faces in the air. My husband and I tried it in the bathtub with our newborn. From the day we brought him home from the hospital he swam, and always stopped fussing when placed in warm water! At about nine months to one year of age, that natural ability goes away. Apparently, learning to walk ends our instinct to swim IF we don't go into the water every day.

Scientists aren't sadists, also if it weren't for these lab rats, etc, we would also have a fraction of the technology (medical and otherwise) in our world and be hundreds of years behind where we are now. I want you to REALLY think about how that would affect you, if you suddenly lost most of the things you use on a daily basis to live, work, stay healthy, etc. I'm not trying to be rude, but your comments are comically small-minded.

Back in 1999 a moose managed to cross the Øresund Straight between southern Sweden and Zealand, the largest island of Denmark. Øresund is at an average around 15 km wide with quite a lot of current to it, being a major link for ships leaving the Baltic Sea and into the Atlantic. This was the first time in, roughly, 4.500 years, that a moose had been in Denmark outside of zoos, so it caught quite a lot of attention, though people were advised to keep at a distance, mostly for the sake of the moose. Unfortunately, after living peacefully, the singular moose was killed as it was struck by a train. In 2015 a small amount of moose was released inside a wildlife reservation, in the hopes of increasing the local biodiversity.

Assuming still water it should take basically no effort to keep you face above the surface as humans are naturally boyant.

My old dog was a yellow lab who could just float there, he used his tail like a rudder. My current dog is less boyant and hates the water (even rain).

Moose like water all the time. They can also swim underwater. Combined with their crotchety nature, it's not uncommon to be chased around a lake or river by one. It's terrifying, once you realize they move fast enough that you have to swim all out to stay ahead of them. They aren't perfect though, i did find a dead one under a logjam once.

Sometimes you can see kangaroos swimming in the ocean on summer mornings, I think it might help them get rid of some annoying insects...just a guess.
Fun fact about moose: Many think that the amount of thorns on the antlers shows the age of the bull. It don´t. How big the antlers becomes is genetic. A 4 year old can have like 20 spikes and a 14 year old usually don´t have that big even if they have the genetics. They are ruminants so they chew everything they eat several times. So the teeth are worn down. So when they become around 14-15 years old they cant chew what they eat so the horns becomes smaller due to the lack of nutrients. If they survive that long they starve to death!
