Wyoming Moose Gives Couple A Jurassic Park/T-Rex Moment

Moose don't get near the love that they should. I'll go ahead and say that. I mean, they're really majestic animals and I feel like we just kind of let them sit to the wayside on the majestic animal list. I blame Bullwinkle and his annoying flying friend, Rocky. We just humanized them too much growing up and now that takes away from how special they are in real life.

A couple in Wyoming was apparently driving around and found a herd of moose last year. As they stopped, one of the bulls got interested in their Jeep. REALLY Interested, and decided to check them out. Typically, I would think that the moose is like, whatever, it's just some people in a car. I'm going to go and do moose things, but not so much in this case.

Do you get Jurassic Park vibes? I totally get Jurassic Park vibes. You know, where the T-Rex is right next to the Jeep with the kids in it and they shut the door and the T-Rex is all like "oh, that looks like dinner to me". Then he tries to get to them? I mean, he feels bad about it later and saves them from the raptors(sorry for the spoiler), but still.

If you need a reference for my reference, skip up to the 2-minute mark here.

See!? Just like Jurassic Park, just, yeah know, with a moose. And just a curious moose, not one that wants to eat anyone.

WATCH OUT: These are the deadliest animals in the world

From Bison to Triceratops - All of Wyoming's Official Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. Wyoming is no different.

The Equality State, or the Cowboy State, depending on which state slogan you want to go with, has a state flower. But did you know we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.

To be an official thing, a member of the state legislature must write and submit a bill to the legislature declaring that a thing will be the official state thing. Then the legislature votes to pass the bill, or not, if it passes, the governor signs the bill into law and we have a new official state thing.

Here is what we have so far, all of Wyoming's official things. Now you can win big on Wyo Trivia Night if that's a thing that exists.
