That's where it is alright. I have been there several times.

They also do orphaned bear cubs.

An adult moose is something that I never wish to encounter while hiking/camping, though.

They can get vicious and eff you up in a hurry!

they, plus females with or without kids are very docile, at least where I live (as long as you don't try to get close). Even then, they will almost always move a comfortable distance away.
