Video: Moose Nosedives Off Cliff, Swims Away

As far as we know, humans are the only animals to jump off cliffs for fun. At least, that's what we thought until we saw this video. Not only does this moose huck off a decently-sized cliff, he does it with such grace that one can't help but wonder if he's done it before. Maybe there is a secret Canadian all-moose cliff-jumping league, or maybe this moose has been watching too many Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series videos. To be fair, those guys make it look pretty easy.

While we don't have much of a frame of reference upon which to judge the moose's form, our consensus is that this jump is around an 8/10 on the moose-cliff-jumping-form scale. The commitment is there, and the widely-splayed legs make for a convincing swan dive. However, a mild over-rotation of the hindquarters is holding this prodigal moose back from achieving the ever-elusive Perfect 10. Maybe next time.
