Following a series of moose attacks in Anchorage, Alaska, wildlife officials are urging the public to exercise caution, particularly around mother moose with calves. Since Memorial Day weekend, five individuals have been injured due to encounters with cow moose, primarily caused by people getting too close to the animals. Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist Cory Stantorf emphasized that these incidents often occur in city green spaces and advised avoiding trails with poor visibility. Signs of a moose preparing to charge include lip licking and pinned ears. In one incident, a cow moose was killed when it blocked officials from rescuing its calf. The department recommends that anyone who encounters a moose should back away and avoid approaching wildlife for photographs. Additionally, dog owners should keep their pets on a leash to prevent aggressive encounters. If a moose charges, individuals are advised to find shelter behind solid objects and to protect themselves if contact occurs. Reports of unusual moose behavior or sightings of young wildlife left alone should be directed to local wildlife offices.
