Well, see, the unique problem with moose, as opposed to other animals, is that their considerably big, heavy body sits atop long spindly legs.

When a vehicle hits them, it hits only the legs - not the body mass. That leaves the whole body to come smashing into your - rather THROUGH you windshield - indeed, more often than not - it will take the whole top of your car off - top of YOU too...
