The undead appearance of this animal has many scratching their heads.
A viral photo of a moose has many speculating as to what is ailing the animal in Alaska.
The photos were apparently taken in Anchorage last summer and show an animal with an almost zombie-like appearance. The moose is missing large patches of hair, exposing black and bright red patches of skin.
"That moose had been attacked by a bear by a neighbors house," Patricia Grenier told the Alaska Dispatch News. "(The moose) was gone and everybody thought it had died, but then it was back and it was in my neighbor's yard." Read the rest of the zombie moose story here.
Night of the Living Moose
Mange, among other things. Just kill it.
Burned? Struck by lightning? It could happen.
Instead of brains, it wants your sister.
Perhaps it just needs a bit of cheese?
A moose once bit my sister...
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end
of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an
Oslo
dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: “The Hot Hands of an Oslo
Dentist”,
“Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink”...
Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...
What that moos needs is a good shower...
moose can’t get frostbite?.... it looks like his back got snow-covered one night and froze up hard
Do zombie moose eat moldy cheese?
Space aliens.
SAFE at first!
Are moose like polar bears in having black skin?
Looks like it’s holding its weight well- not emaciated.
Do Moose get mange? Sure looks like it to me.
Tanned hides are pretty light colored.
Maybe the earlier post about frostbite is on the money... if the bear wounds were bad enough and a lot of hair pulled off too - and the scars look very bad indeed- the wounds would have been exposed and the torn hide couldn’t hold much heat.
THE WALKING MOOSE
I’ve seen moose that were part albino, brown & white splotches. Moose molt & get their new coats every season too. There are ten times the moose in urban Alaska than you find in rural Ak, reason wolves. In urban Alaska, you see moose with bear wounds all the time.
We need to send Daryl and his crossbow to Alaska.
