  Indeed although you also want to be careful with them in the wild :-)
  I saw one once in Maine in an area where I went rafting and camping. He was deciding whether to cross a small road or not and all the cars were waiting for him. In the end he decided to go back to the woods :-D
  It was in 2000 but I think it was here:

    Nice!! Yes -- you definitely need to be careful seeing them in nature. They are peaceful unless perturbed, lol. When I lived in Maine, we had an ornery moose hanging out on the dike in town for several days. It turned out to have some sort of brain disease. But, one of my favorite things to do in Maine was to get up super early in the morning and watch the moose feeding on vegetation in ponds. It was especially awesome when they had calves with them. They were fine with my watching as long as I kept my distance. Posted 3 years ago
