A moose was captured on camera charging toward a man who had approached the animal, hoping to give it a pet on a street in Frisco, Colorado, on February 15.

Amanda Danielson, who recorded this video, told Storyful that the man said that he “pet moose all the time” and ignored his friends who warned him to not get so close.

The video shows the man squat down and raise his arm out toward the moose, who then charged toward him. The moose stopped and turned around before reaching the man. Credit: Amanda Danielson via Storyful
