Moose

There were only two moose in the Center but I don't know their story.  I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that moose are the most often seen wildlife in Alaska.  That said, it was surprising that we didn't see any in the wild this trip despite the miles we traveled.  I've often thought that spare parts left over from other animals went into the making of the moose.  They aren't exactly pretty but they manage well (when they stay away from the highways and railroad tracks).  They are responsible for more human deaths and injuries than bear and I'd give them a very wide berth if I ever encountered one in the wild.  They seem gentle but those hooves are deadly.
