I once stood maybe 40 feet from a moose, in the wild. It was fairly heavy forest and there was no sign of it until it stepped out onto the trail. Moose are not normal animals. They're more like small kaiju.

Ever tried to procure perfect moose pelts in RDR2? It will make you believe they're creatures of myth!
The hammer of Thor-moose will find thee on a dark road at night heathen! Clip the legs, and the smasher will follow; a deadly pounding; Moohalla!
That's because they're megafauna technically.
I lived in Alaska for a couple years. They are definitely real and definitely big AF.
I have seen a cow and calf in Alaska, but they just sound exactly like an animal a horror author dreamed up.
I have seen a cow and calf moose in Colorado. So I know they are real and are reproducing.
I went to Yellowstone. I saw elk, deer, antelope, bear, wolves, bison, a porcupine, no moose.
I went to Moose viewing trail during Moose fest in Minnesota, no moose.
I think you may be on to something.
