There's a deal of telephoto flattening going on in the image, so I'm not sure how close he really is to the critter. Male meese are ~6 feet tall at the shoulder, so...

Moose doesn't seem to be in that big of a hurry, either. They supposedly gallop when they're running. That one's doing the trademark moose "shambling trot".

Looks like maybe the ossifer's trying to get ahead of the moose, like they're trying to herd it?

"Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), a famous physicist and astronomer, had a pet moose that once got drunk and died when it fell down the stairs in his castle."
