Just another day in Alaska

You come home, get ready to relax for the evening, get out of your car, and the moose are fighting again. Nothing like the snorting and clomping of fighting moose to wake you out of your evening commuter’s haze. These two bulls started battling it out in the middle of a busy suburb. You can see and hear people filming from their cars and holding back their dogs, hoping these too massive beasts don’t cause any property damage in their wake! Thankfully, we don’t see any thing -or anyone- get hurt, and it looks like nobody gets too injured. One bull runs off in defeat, and the spectators got one heck of a show.

Is it an Alaska thing that nobody is fazed by this? The people (including the walkers and their dog, toward which the moose run at the end of the video) all seem pretty relaxed about the two-ton behemoths clashing in their quiet suburb. See the video here.

Long, long ago, there was a TV commercial for Anacin or Bufferin in which a “real person,” a southern gentleman, described his headaches as being “like two bull moose in the back of my head.”

That’s what I was thinking as I watched the video.

My mom did a killer imitation of the guy at the dinner table, made me laugh so hard.

A moose once bit my sister’s Toyota.

We have lots of in-town moose in Anchorage.

The guy had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually goose a moose and he let it get away.
