During a trip through Yellowstone, I spotted a moose with calf far out in a meadow next to a swampy area. I guessed the animals to be over 100 yards away.

Many cars began stopping next to mine. One guy took his camera and began walking toward the moose. He was about 6 feet tall.

At first he appeared to be getting smaller as he walked into the distance, and the size of the moose stayed the same. Then an amazing thing happened that got the growing crowd scared: as he walked closer to the moose his image seemed to stay the same size but the moose grew larger and larger!

It was clear momma moose was taller at the shoulder than his 6 feet !
