A moose calf and its mother eat crab apples and branches from a tree at an Anchorage, Alaska home Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2007. Deep mountain snow usually drives moose to seek lower ground in Anchorage each winter but the snow in town this year is too deep even for the stilt-legged animals. So they're going where they'd rather not, choosing major roads, plowed sidewalks and groomed trails to sidestep the great mounds piling up in neighborhoods and greenbelts during a remarkably snowy month in Alaska's largest city.

Is the snow caused by to much global warming ?

White tail deer in MA eat all our landscaping in winter, too. It's what they do.

Most of them, anyway.

"Look, I explained to you moose last week that there were gonna be changes, and exactly what those changes were. I can't help it if you didn't prepare. Now get ready, because you're about to do seven hours of paperwork."

Is it Bush or is it Snow, getting in the way?

They're always getting blamed for something.

Moose eat up to 40 pounds of wood a day, enough to fill two large garbage cans

Now I want you to realize what we have to deal with up here. Eating wood is a rather high fiber diet. Cellulose is not overly digestible if you get my meaning...
