When Newfoundland posts moose warning signs they mean it
Mile by mile staff stopped to take this picture of the moose sign. The photographer walked back from the vehicle, while taking the photo there was a 'crunch crunch' and out of the bush walked the moose below. The 100 meter dash uphill was broken that day. This was so funny we thought we would share it with you.
