Moose always like to lick cars. What is this strange behavior? Why do this?

Moose always like to lick cars. What is this strange behavior? Why do this? Passengers saw an unusual sign that read: Don't let a moose lick your car.

This logo attracted the attention of netizens and triggered heated discussions. Some netizens believe that the government may be worried that the moose's tongue will stick to the car when it licks the car; others believe that the car paint may be poisonous and the government is worried that the moose will "lick the car and die." Everyone was talking a lot and had strong curiosity about this matter.

Jasper National Park spokesman Steve Young said on November 23 that salt is an important part of the moose’s diet. They usually get salt from the park’s salt lakes. I don’t know. Since when have moose discovered that road salt splashes on cars, and the salt on the car's body is extremely delicious to moose. When people park their cars on the side of the road to watch moose, the moose will take the opportunity to get close and lick the salt off their cars. As a result, moose roam the roads of the 2.8 million-acre park, increasing the chances of cars hitting them and drivers being injured or killed.

More and more people are driving to Jasper National Park to observe moose up close and take photos of their strange behaviors or take photos with them. Steve believes that humans and wild animals should keep a certain distance to avoid unnecessary harm. Moose licking cars will not cause harm to the cars or the moose itself, but once they form a habit, they will lick everyone's cars, but not everyone is friendly, and some people may hurt the moose, but If a moose collides with a car, both parties will be injured.

In this regard, the Canadian government stipulates that no one is allowed to drive close to wild animals and is fined 25,000 Canadian dollars (19,000 US dollars) for feeding or luring wild animals. At the same time, the car owners were also told that if the moose approaches the car, they are not allowed to drive away. They only need to sound the horn a few times to scare them away.

Okay, today’s sharing is over.
