A popular video circulating on social media shows two moose trying to wade through tourists in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park. Many headlines suggest one of the animals charged at a woman who was trying to get out of its path. While it does change direction and seem to think about going after her, it doesn’t really commit to that thought, and the situation resolves itself once everyone gets out of the moose pair’s way.

“Moose charges at unsuspecting woman,” wrote ABC 7 Chicago in its post sharing the viral video.
The general consensus in the comments section is that this isn’t really a “charge.” It definitely was a warning, though.
“I don’t think the moose was charging her. The moose was trying to get out of there, and that lady was in the way if she was charging her, that lady had been on the ground being trampled,” wrote one person.
