I am struggling to imagine a lone wolf killing an adult moose. A juvenile or elderly/sick one maybe. Unless it managed to hamstring it real early on it just seems implausible

A wolf is a lot bigger than you think, also, they have greater agility over a moose id reckon

Sure, but moosen are like 15 foot tall multi ton kaiju with bone spikes and an attitude problem. Ive been to wolf sanctuaries and I understand wolf size, but it's not in the same league
