You can't wrestle a moose or bear.... LOL!

Bears are actually big pussys, just stand your ground and look them straight in the eyes, and they'll just walk away.

Moose, I'm not sure, I've never come into a face to face situation with one while on foot. I don't think they will typically bother you though but you don't want to bother them either.

Then there's Australia, they have the cute and cuddly Koala bears, and they'll rip your face off. :p

Not according to a bear encounter I read in the mag Field & Stream at the dentist. LOL!

Be near a moose with her baby. Even a cow will go after you.

They are very cuddly. My mom has friends in Australia and they pet and cuddle koalas all the time. I think it's a misconception that they'll rip your face off.

Yeah any animal with young you don't want to be near. My grandma was blueberry picking alone once and a cub decided it wanted to go play with her. She knew the mother was probably around so she dumped her blueberries and walked off. Kept the bear busy with food so it does not keep following her. The best is how casual my grandma is about the whole situation. I'd be freaking annoyed having to give up all those blueberries! :p
