This was another instance of the moose being a little too close for comfort. Blue_In_AK Jul 2015 #2
That's interesting! They don't seem to fear humans in certain locations. Solly Mack Jul 2015 #3

It was right off the trail, about five feet away from me. We definitely made eye contact.

Something interesting that was reported on the news the other night - the city moose like this one have a different DNA profile than the moose who live out in the wild. I think one of the traits that has been eliminated is fear of humans.

I hear stories of them walking around towns, minding their own business.

I still wonder at that moose we saw when I visited. And at how amazingly lush Alaskan summer are!

. We had an instance here where a lady moose became enamored with a life-sized sculpture of a bull on the grounds of the Alyeska Resort. It was kind of sad.
