When a bear and a moose meet, the outcome depends on various factors, including the size and species of each animal, their individual temperaments, and the specific circumstances of the encounter. While bears can and do prey on moose, especially moose calves or injured adults, they generally avoid confrontation with healthy, adult moose due to the moose's size and strength. A moose, particularly a bull moose, can be very dangerous, with powerful legs and sharp antlers. Bears may attempt to ambush or surprise a moose, but a direct confrontation is often a risky endeavor for the bear.
