For a long time the man records the moose running along the road, which makes us suppose that the animal could be lost, looking for other adult moose, since this moose is too young to be alone on the road. Moose usually cross roads in groups, with the youngest being able to stay behind, which they could be confused, due to the cars passing.The lights and the noise of the cars, can cause them to easily lose sight of their flock or their mother, although some moose may be solitary, but mostly it is when these animals are adults.
