Moose!

Today on the front page of the Anchorage Daily Newspaper (ADN) was the following picture...

What you are looking at is a moose standing on top of a snow covered car in order to reach the higher branches. With such a rough winter boasting over 120 inches of snow the moose retreat from higher mountain elevations to lower regions. More often then not they head into the city. I mean if I were a moose I too would take to the city. Plowed streets, more food, etc. The moose seem to not care too much about the humans that surround them. The ADN has set up a whole collection of submitted photos from October until now of moose sightings. You can see all the photos -->Here<--- but below are some of my personal favorites enjoy.
