Summary

  • Todd Malcolm said he accelerated his pickup in Telos Township, Maine, after a bear and a moose calf burst from the woods and ran toward the truck.
  • The move put the truck between predator and prey; Malcolm said he wanted to stop the chase without hitting the bear, which veered off the road and disappeared into the woods.
  • Elvia Malcolm, still inside the truck, photographed the encounter and said she soon saw the calf reunited with its mother up the road.
  • The couple had pulled over during a routine fishing trip to photograph a female moose, then resumed the trip after the calf was safe.
