>>2449317"On average, there are 19 bear attacks in the East (Russia, Turkey, and Iran), 18 in Europe, and 11 in North America every year."
"In Alaska, moose outnumber bears 3 to 1, and they injure around 5-10 people annually. That’s more than grizzly bear and black bear attacks combined, in the state of Alaska. "
"Plus, they outnumber bears nearly 3 to 1 in Alaska—where the largest North American moose subspecies resides—and they wound 5 to 10 people annually. Compare that to an average of two bear attacks per year in North America across the continent."
Hmmm.... 2 attacks or 11 attacks per year?
"Moose attacks are rarely fatal for humans, so generally one or fewer people die each year from moose. Many people are injured by moose every year, particularly in urban areas, such as Anchorage, Alaska, which have high moose populations. "
"Black Bears are responsible for at least 10 Canadian deaths in the past 10 years[...]700 Moose-vehicle collisions occur annually in Newfoundland and Labrador alone."
I can't find hard numbers. And most stats aren't from innawoods interactions. Obviously you're more likely to be injured by a moose in a road accident, but are moose as likely to attack while in their normal habitat vs in the urban areas talked about above?
