Some people think TikTok is making it hard to focus, but many people around the world are watching a simple livestream from a Swedish TV channel they probably don't know. It's the time for the Great Moose Migration.

For thousands of years, moose have crossed the Ångerman River each spring to find a warmer home for the summer. But since 2019, everyone can watch this for three weeks because a Swedish TV channel shows the migration live online with more than 30 cameras to record everything that happens.

The livestream usually shows calm forest and river scenes. If you are lucky, you might see a moose walking by. It doesn't know it's famous around the world. It's just a moose, walking without any worries.

Usually, the stream is quiet. Sometimes, you can hear the wind and birds. It's pleasant, even if you forget you left the livestream open on your computer and are surprised by animals far away.

A Swedish student told the AP: "I feel calm, but at the same time I think, 'Oh, there's a moose. What if there's a moose? I can't go to the toilet!'"

The video stream of the stream continues all night, even without sunlight, thanks to night vision cameras. But the black and white image looks more like the horror film "The Blair Witch Project" than a nature documentary. Still, seeing a moose, even if it's a bit scary, is exciting.

Last year, 9 million people watched SVT's live stream of moose. This is a good number compared to Discovery Channel's Shark Week, which had over 22 million viewers in 2023. It's especially good because SVT only streams nature with a small team.

These livestreams are very interesting because they are so different from what we usually see online. On TikTok, you watch short videos that are made just for you, so it's difficult to stop watching. YouTubers work hard to edit their videos carefully to keep us watching for a long time.

But the moose don't need anything from us. They don't even know we are here, cheering for them.
