Alaskan residents warned to stay away from grumpy moose

Posted by: admin , March 16, 2017

After 2 ‘close calls’ this weekend, Alaskan residents have been warned to stay clear of moose, which tend to be grumpy this time of year.
It’s reported that a woman was kicked “in the noggin” by a startled moose that was eating from her chicken feed bucket.
Elsewhere, an agitated moose charged skiers at Aleyska Resort.
At this time of the year, moose are tired and looking forward to Spring.
This is due to the lack of nutrients on their Winter menu (twigs and other woody material), as opposed to the lush greens on their Summer menu.
Moose are a common sight along roads in Anchorage. They can range in weight from 800-pound cows to 1,600 pound bulls!
