A cow moose on the rut, especially one that is defending the young from an enemy, is quite dangerous and powerful enough to injure a pack of wolves. Two wolves are good at killing animals that are bigger than themselves, but the cow moose has those hooves and a strong head that could kill the two wolves. The hooves would stomp or trample the two wolves to death if the two wolves do not escape fast. Even if one wolf can distract the moose on the front, and the other can go on the back to rip out the hamstrings, a cow moose would charge at them and knock them to death. In the fight, the cow moose would win.

What are predators of moose?
Main predators of moose are grizzly bears, wolves, humans, and black bears.Grizzly bears-Grizzly bears often hunt both bull and cow moose in many cases. They do sometimes kill and feed on adult moose, but researches have shown that adult moose are also quite dangerous and strong even for a fully-grown big male brown bear to prey on.Wolves- Wolves do prey on adult moose occasionally when the moose is not very active or on the rut. A pack of wolves could kill an adult moose if they are lucky and smart and experienced, but some of the members could be very injured in most cases. Adult moose would usually pause the wolf pack and think more than twice. Young moose are more of a prey to a pack of wolves, but that is only when their is no cow moose to defend it.Humans- Humans have killed many moose for the past centuries in Northern America. Today, many moose can be near endangering if poaching or illegal hunting has not been stopped. We need to save moose population as well.Black bears- Black bears will actually attack anything that hinders them or comes to their territories, but usually not when they see a very big animal like an adult moose. Since a fully-grown adult moose can defend itself from a grizzly bear, then a black bear would definitely not try to hunt down the moose in most cases. Black bears do prey on the young ones that wander off away from the cow moose.

Who would win a fight a cow moose on the rut or an Alaskan brown bear?
A cow moose would do its best to fight off the Alaskan brown bear with all its weapons and defense it gets, like hooves, head, and weight. An Alaskan brown bear has those powerful claws and a large size that can injure a cow moose badly if it got angry enough. However, a cow moose with sharp hooves and a powerful head, might seriously injure an Alaskan brown bear. It really does not depend on the size and health of the Alaskan brown bear. In a fight like this, the cow moose would win, but would get injured.Another opinion:That actually DOES depend on the size, health and age of the bear. A young bear wouldn't have a chance against a raging cow moose, nor would an old and/or weak bear. But a mature adult sow protecting her cubs, or even a roving mature boar bear who's got plenty of fights under his belt? A cow moose should be heading to the hills than taking on a great adult Alaskan brown bear! A bear is more predatory in nature with more defensive weapons at its disposal than a cow moose has: Not only is an Alaskan brown bear more muscular, but it also has powerful, sharp teeth and claws it can use to rip a moose apart and kill it, regardless whether the cow's in heat/on the rut or not. Sure a cow moose has those razor sharp hooves that will slice through the bear's hide, but that won't stop the bear from coming after her with its fangs bared and paws ready to take a swing. One swipe from an Alaskan brown bear's paw is enough to break a moose's neck, and thus make it a meal to feast on.
