looks real to me. 1st pic the right rear leg goes behind the bush and continues on the other side. i'm sure this isn't the biggest moose in the world but he's good sized.

It's not photoshopped... you guys are as bad as the folks on any of the hunting sites I go to... you can clearly see the sunlight glinting off the antler tips in the first 2 photos... that Moose is so close to the bush that he won't cast a shadow with that sun angle.

The 3rd photo is a totally different Moose as well and the reason it's not leaving a well defined track is because of the snow depth. His feet would be dragging thru the snow at the pace he's trotting hence the snow aura around his legs...

the shadows do change look closer between the 2 first pics there are many gaps in the shadow of the second pic when he is out of the brush but in the first pic the shadow is a full shadow.

I downloaded them and brought up metadata.

The one in the snow shows it was taken by a Canon Powershot sx110is on 11-18-08 at 16:25...

Metadata is blank on the other two.

Wikipedia says the largest moose on record was 1800 pounds and 92" at shoulder...

OK look at the stick laying in the road on the first two shots. Look closely at the little branch comming off of it (by his foot). in the first shot the branch is about 6inches long, in the second shot the branch is about 2inches long. So one of two things happened here, either the branch got broken off between his steps (but that would have moved the stick) or this is the back ground area that got covered when someone pasted the photo. As for the shadows, you can see the level/angle of the sun by the shadow cast on the trees down the road, at that angle that monster would have a shadow that would cover the road.

Now for the third shot. Unless you guys run different tracks then we do down here, the snow is no deeper then 6 inches (because the top of the tracks are showing). I suspect a moose running that fast (to be able to kick up a 60mph snow cloud) would also pick it's feet up more then 6" off the ground when doing it...

Look I want dinosaurs to be real also, but some things are just "photo trickery"

First 2 were supposedly taken on a quad trail in the Yukon.

My good friend runs a CN train up North and says they run over tons of them every year especially in the rut season. He says they will run so far or not at all and then just ram the train

I have seen a 5 ton Ryder rental that hit a moose north of Sault Ste Marie and they get tall and heavy, most of the passenger hood/front and some of the cab was crushed. Even when I travel up north, at night, I still worry about "impacting" a moose. A 4 by 4 mega cab will loose an encounter with a long legged swamp donkey! I have had my headlights shine under a moose as it walked across the highway in front of me. if someone you meet in the north flashes his headlights, it not a cop but most likely a moose. I do not doubt the picture is real. Ask any one who has lived or travelled in the north, moose can be huge: 94 inches is 7 foot 10 inches.

ive been told that my buddies uncle who works for the government in animal conservation said that he has shot a moose that was almost 10 feet high and at the bottom of the leg it measured 25 inches around. thats was right under the knee but that could be a myth but ive seen some of the animals this guy has taken and all i can say is i believe hime.

I had a moose cross the road in front of are RV at dusk when I was traveling in Alaska. I swear if I had the corvette I could driven right under that thing without even tickling his privates
