Moose on Ice: Good Samaritans make way for moose in skating track https://www.ktuu.com/content/news/VIDEO-Good-Samaritans-make-path-for-hesitant-moose-stuck-in-skating-oval-504190961.html

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - A team of Anchorage engineering firm employees looked out their office window Wednesday and saw a sight that’s not uncommon in Alaska – a moose walking through the park next door. It was about lunchtime, and this moose was at Cuddy Midtown Family Park, which is home to an oval-shaped ice skating track that had apparently been recently hot-mopped.

What started as a routine Alaskan experience – cameras out, of course – changed the course of their day slightly when they saw the moose slip and fall as it crossed the skating track, ending up on the snow in the middle of the rink.

“We watched her circle the rink, trying the ice in several places,” said Caity Kennedy, with DOWL, in an email. “After about two hours we decided to help.”

2. There's always the one that made it to the takeout window but LOL!

They're big so we yell them out of the driveway but! We do our best just to make sure they stay okay.

11. fantastic. i had an encounter last summer. the moose was coming up a road that i was

walking on and we saw each other about 30 ft away but i pretended not to see it and took a turn and kept walking. this giant creature stopped and tried to hide behind some very inadequate little trees until i had passed far enough away, then came out and kept going.
