Five Newfoundland drivers hit moose within the space of only 80 minutes Thursday morning — one of them while rubbernecking at another moose collision. And with each individual weighing up to 545 kilograms, the island’s moose population outweighs its human population. Newfoundland moose have no natural predators, aside from the occasional black bear nipping a calf. Today, all of the island’s moose — including the five that ploughed into cars on Thursday morning — are descended from the original four 1904 moose. The island of Newfoundland logs about 600 moose collisions per year.
