Man captures spectacular video of moose in Gaspsie National Park

ric Deschamps got a special surprise during a walk in the Gaspsie National Park onNov.1.

Deschamps spent two hours observing four moose on Mont Ernest-Laforce.

"This is definitely the most special and the most intense moment I've experienced in my life," he said.

He had his video camera with him and captured the moment, later sharing it online.

The video he posted on Facebook has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.

"I took a moment to understandwhat was happening," he said, "I realized that I was not in danger."

Pascal Lvesque, director of Gaspsie park, said visitors revelling in this kind of moment is what makes his job special.

"That's why we work," he said.

He emphasized, however, that it's important to keep a safe distance from wild animals in the park.
