Animal Accidents
Freak accidents happen all the time, but in the wilderness the consequences are almost always deadly. View these cool photos of animals who were in compromising positions and paid the price with their lives!
What are the odds that a moose would be lined up so perfectly that all four of its legs would slip into this eroded crack in the earth? Talk about bad luck! And elk live their entire life in forest surroundings, but do you think this bull ever viewed a tree as its enemy?
While scouting one spring I found a bald eagle in a similar predicament as the bull elk. A surprise wind storm hit the area overnight and the unlucky symbol of our nation was caught in surprise as an ancient cottonwood tumbled in the dark. Perched in the limbs it couldn’t escape in time and was squashed like a bug under my shoe.
Next time you think you’re having bad luck remember these photos. It can’t be that bad. Can it? AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENT |

I noticed that more trees in my local area are falling more often from pine beatels not uncommon to hear a tree fall when you out in thick wodded areas & a little wind starts to pick up.
Wow. Those animals are pretty big. Even if you'd find them still alive in those unfortunate situations, I'm not sure what--if anything--could be done to help them.
The animal in the ditch is a moose not an elk. It seems impossible that fell with al four legs, but who knows...
hmmm - Moose in the ditch, with a little snow left around him. I'm thinking it was drifted over when he went in. Unlucky, never even saw it as a threat...
Man that would be quite the site to see while out hiking. Pretty cool pictures.
Hey, Lloyd. The article states it's a moose in the ditch. The reference to the elk is talking about the previous pic.
