snafu Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Perihan Mahmoud walks down the sidewalk along Turnagain Parkway in west Anchorage past a young moose Friday, April 18, 2008. As she passes the moose, she reaches out to it and spooks the moose. This lady dosen't even have a clue. :rolleyes: Slide show: Urban moose: Top Stories | adn.com Quote *NEVER FORGOTTEN*
snafu Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 The look on the lady's face in the car is priceless. :D Quote *NEVER FORGOTTEN*
Old Salt Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Maybe she thought it was a pet?:eek: :rolleyes: ;) Quote Been wrong before, could be wrong now, will probably be wrong again. Don't take yourself so dang seriously. ;)
Moderators IWS Posted April 20, 2008 Moderators Posted April 20, 2008 I remember once when I was a kid there was a couple of cow moose and calves on the side of the road. People pulled over and were walking in amongst them, taking pictures. The morons were lucky they didn't get trampled.

That happened on the UAA campus. Moose are usually pretty docile but if you provoke them they'll stomp the crap out of you. Quote *NEVER FORGOTTEN*
sheik-yerbouti Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Its dangerous in their baby moose season too I read. They have little ones, when the human little ones are on school holidays. There was a piece in a paper I read where a 6 yo had wandered over to investigate a tiny moose and its mum really gave the kid a beating. Moose (European Elk), Grizzlys (Brown bears), wolves etc all were wiped out in mediaeval times in the UK. I cant imagine what it must be like to suddenly see one of these things wandering around wild. We do have boars back in the wild though, thanks to animal libbers raiding and releasing them from farms, and of course, the odd escape from farms from time to time. Yet to see some though.

atlantic Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I remember that one! That happened on the UAA campus. Moose are usually pretty docile but if you provoke them they'll stomp the crap out of you. Not to mention, they are friggin HUGE. I was riding on the back of a motorcycle in the White Mountains one time, and I came across one, I could hear it walking over the loud pipes, it started to run out in front of us, then quickly backed up. Made me never want to ride through there in the dark that's for sure :eek: Quote
wez Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 When I lived in Duluth I was following a moose all over the city on my paper route one morn.. Everywhere I went there he was.. pretty cool. Cept I saw that night on the news they tranquilized him and he died. :( Didn't scare me as much as the bears.. bout crapped my pants one morning. Hopped out of the car to drop a paper and heard a loud bang and was like 25 feet from a couple black bears raping a dumpster.. :D They used to wander into the city for food every fall when it got cold..
