Had a couple of microphones deployed for passive monitoring of diurnal bird activity in a forest area not far from where I live.  One night the mics captured a moose with calf approaching. They walked  by at some distance when they for unknown reason turned around and passed by very close. Had it not been for the tree ”ear” placement, I fear the mics could have been completely trashed. Moose not just sound big, they are big in real life.
