This is the incredible moment a protective mother moose chased away a young brown bear tailing her young calf in an Alaskan field.
The astonishing video offers a rare glimpse into the wild showing the two creatures, a real life Yogi Bear and Bullwinkle from the famed cartoons, run after each other in circles.
The video was shared by Alaskan man Matthew Cahill on June 13 with the caption ‘Morning wildlife drama at our house’.
The one-minute clip starts with the mother moose running with its tiny baby in tow through a green field with mountains in the background.
Alaska man Matthew Cahill filmed an incredible moment of nature right outside his window, showing the moment a mother moose and her young calf are chased by a young brown bear

Here comes the predator! The bear was chasing the duo, likely hoping to eat the cub
Then a young brown bear follows not far behind. The cub with its shiny chestnut-colored mane runs incredible close to the windows of Cahill’s home.
The bear comes perilously close to the moose and its baby, leading the parent to charge at the intruder, chasing it off to keep its paws off its calf.
The moose runs after the bear, sending it sprinting into the field, and the chase doesn’t stop until they’re out of sight, reaching the other side of the open meadow.
The video has since gone viral racking up 5.7million views and over 107,000 shares.
