I'm afraid of all animals.

Dogs, I hate cats, lizards, Peppa Pig, horses, etc...

We conquered animals back in the days when Alexander the Great was riding elephants, so I don't understand why we invite the enemy into our homes. They want to kill you. You've robbed them of their land, the dogs used to run free in packs. They did whatever they wanted. They're going to attack you at some point.

But I understand I'm in the minority. Most people love animals both domestic and wild. People will go hiking for the express purpose of seeing some of these bastards. But, you really gotta be careful out in the wild.

According to The Advocates Injury Attorneys, there's quite a few dangerous animals in the Beehive State. They list the top 10. (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

They talk about gila monsters, coyotes, black bears, raccoon, mosquitos, scorpion, mountain lions, rattlesnakes.

But the number one most dangerous animal in Utah is...

MOOSE!

According to the article:

"You read that right. Bullwinkle the moose is the most dangerous animal in all of Utah. Most people consider these animals to be harmless if not comical due to its wide, blunt antlers. And it’s due to this very reason why Moose are so dangerous. Too many think people mistakenly think they are friendly and approach them with the goal of petting them like they were a worse. Often, these people are in for a rude awakening as Moose are extremely aggressive mammals. With over 3,000 moose in Utah, an encounter with this animal in northern Utah is more likely than you think."

Wow!

They say if you run into a moose look out for "signs of aggression" including licking their snouts, ears pinned back, lowering their head to charge.

Yikes. Good luck out there!
