“Talk about perfect timing!” wrote Roam Wild Photo Tours in a Facebook post sharing a video of a moose crossing a river in front of a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park. Indeed, it was perfect timing—two of the most charismatic species in the area literally crossed paths in front of a group of visitors.

In the background, you can hear people oscillating between awe at the scene and a bit of fear that the two animals would get into a fight. However, the online community points out that the grizzly seems pretty uninterested in the moose. The moose does appear to spend some time sizing up the bear, but, ultimately, it wasn’t worth the energy for either animal to face off with the other.

“[This was] one of the wildest and most unexpected encounters of the week,” Road Wild Photo Tours added in the caption. “Yellowstone always has a way of keeping us on our toes.”
