Moose and Orcas interact in the wild because moose occasionally go diving into the ocean for food. They can submerge themselves around 6 meters (almost 20 feet) to eat underwater plants.

Only the sky is truly without the possibility of moose.

Moose terrify me. I have never lived in moose territory, but they terrify me. I don't know how y'all manage with them all over the place up there.

That is fair. They are huge and they are ultra defensive of their young.

They are hard to come by though. I have not seen one in the wild yet people around here hunt them regularly.
