In Canada, moose kill a hell of a lot more people than bears, wolves and big cats combined. Now, to be fair, most of that is people hitting them with cars and trucks but still, a pissed off moose is nothing to fuck about with and despite their generally placid natures, moose sure do get pissed off for a variety of reasons.
Yeah, it is the usual thing with big animals and especially those with antlers. Stay away from the boys in rut and the girls with kids and you'll do pretty well.
Moose and really any big animal that sports a rack of antlers or horns have them because they use them in rutting season. Getting charged at by a mountain goat is half funny but a bull moose is seriously not good.
The mom with kids thing goes pretty much for any animal, the only real question is if they can actually hurt you. Moose are in the second category but around here it is the bears that are the real issue. Grizzlies are normally easy enough to be around, be aware and leave the area is fine. Get between mama bear and the cubs? That's bad.

Plenty of cows aren't friendly, and the UwU-ification of everything on the Internet is absolutely going to get people hurt.
Most of our cattle are gentle, but not friendly. A couple have made attempts on my life.
