The Circle of Moose

The Alaskan moose is the largest moose species on earth, with a shoulder height of over 2 meters. It is omnipresent in Alaska. They are simultaneously loved, hated, cared for, hunted, run over and eaten. Moose appear cute, but they are often considered more dangerous than the bears living in the forest. But it's not just in the forest that you can encounter a moose - they can be seen outside supermarkets in the city, in front gardens and very often on the roadside - if not on the road. There is a collision with a moose almost every day in winter. This often ends up in the freezer and often leaves behind an orphaned calf. Some of these are collected by dedicated people, nursed back to health and released back into the wild.
