Is a moose an antelope?

its kinda difficult to get what you mean with that.. do you mean to ask if they're monogamous? or if they continue mating each year until death? the answer to those questions are no, and yes respectively.

male elk, known as a "bull", like most members of the deer family, participate each year in whats known as the "rut". they will compete with each other in various ways such as antler sparring, to win the right to mate with the female a "cow". they will do this with as many cows as possible, as many times as possible. some bulls will mate up to a dozen times with a single cow, as the estrus cycle (when she is able to become pregnant) is only a day or two.

an elk will continue to do this until it is no longer able to, though most are killed by a predator before this happens

it may be worth noting, that in a small herd of elk, you may see up to twenty cows per bull, because the bull is waiting for the time of year when he can mate with all of them. however when that time comes, many other bulls will begin following them as well.

Are moose afraid of humans?

They're afraid of humans in the sense that they will avoid humans as much as possible during the best of times. During the rut and when a cow has her calves with her, that's a different story. But a moose will act in the same way during those same times to other predatory animals like bears, wolves, coyotes and mountain lions. They know that humans are predators too; they know what it means when it sees an animal with forward-facing eyes.

Indeed moose are dangerous animals, more dangerous than a bear when cornered, but that doesn't mean they aren't scared of humans. Moose may wander into a residential area, but does that mean it's unafraid of people? Not exactly, especially when fish and wildlife officers have to try to corner it to tranquilize it and move it to a safe, more natural location. A moose will run away--yes, in fear--when it knows it's in the vicinity of humans via sight, smell and sound.
