While they might look docile, the humble moose takes the top spot on our list. They can be found across Canada, particularly in wooded and forested areas. Moose can get aggressive – especially during rutting (breeding) season or when protecting their calves.

However, the greatest danger comes from vehicle collisions. Weighing up to 720kg (1,590lbs) and standing over 6.5 feet (2m) tall, a moose can do serious damage. In Newfoundland and Labrador alone, there are hundreds of moose-vehicle collisions reported annually.
