Animals frequently surprise us with insane displays of stunts and twists that make us wonder if they were injured in the process. But, in all seriousness, animals are far more adaptable and resilient than we can imagine, so we can only sit back and enjoy such a display of stunts.

Their lighter weight allows them to be more flexible for twists and turns or stunts. The moose is an example of such a flexible and resilient animal.

You will get to see an unusual video of a fearless moose taking an unthinkable dive off a cliff in Newfoundland, Canada. The scene unfolded in front of some boaters, who videotaped such a priceless moment.

Alyssa Hewlett was out fishing in Nippers Harbor when she noticed the young moose climbing a cliff. She had no idea what the massive animal was going to do, so she began filming the event right away.

But then the moose got too close to the edge of the rocks, lost its balance, and fell into the water, leaving everyone wondering what happened or if the moose landed safely in the water.

The boaters nearby feared the worst, believing the animal had died from the jump or had collided with a rock. They were correct in their assessment because the animal fell from a high point of the cliff, crashing into the water.

"Oh no, is she gone?" the person filming the event was heard saying. But then the animal surprised them all by swimming away as if nothing had happened.

"'Woo, I'm rooting for you buddy, you're such a tough moose," the woman says. After falling from such a high cliff, this brave moose surprised everyone around the water with his resilience.

Although the moose appeared to be in grave danger to everyone watching the video, Dr. Ronald Moen, a biology professor at the University of Minnesota, did explain the contrary.

"Moose are excellent swimmers, and given how calm the water was it could have found an access point to get back on land"

According to the professor, who also received the 2016 Distinguished Moose Biologist Award, the moose most likely walked down the cliff but was unable to climb back up. It could have been foraging, but there didn't appear to be much food around the cliff or in the water.

Moose are good swimmers, and given how quiet the water was, it could have found a way back to land and possibly looked for food elsewhere.

These animals don’t fail to provide us with actions to spice up our days. It is really rewarding, with abundant dopamine, to watch these animals display their tricks.

The funniest part of it is that they do such stunts for a reason – mainly to catch prey – but we find them entertaining. In the end, big thanks to those that devote their efforts and time to capturing these priceless scenes.
