Moose viewing?

I realized a while ago that I've never seen a moose in my life. Not in the wild, not in a zoo, etc. I've seen maps purporting to show what the moose's natural range is, but how common are they there? What are some easily-accessible places where one might be likely to spot a moose? Why aren't they in zoos?


There's another list for me to make... notable animals I've seen in the wild. I've seen wild coyotes within the L.A. city limits. Some of the more interesting ones I've seen are bobcats, condor, banana slugs, snakes, scorpions, armadillo (deceased), alligator, elk, burros, a sea turtle, humpback whales, porpoises, and (drumroll please...) the Maui mystery big cat. I caught a glimpse of it leaving the roadway while I was on the remote Pi'ilani Highway on the south side of Haleakala. Here's an official notice on it.

I've never seen a bear, a beaver, a bison, a tortoise, a wolf, a porcupine, a shark, or a bighorn sheep in the wild. I've heard many coqui frogs, but never seen one. I've smelled many skunks, but never seen one. I've never seen a pika, marmot, nutria, or badger, either in the wild or in captivity.
