Alaska Wildlife

moose_at_awcc.jpg - Moose at Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) where they have more than just this one but this big boy had the best looking antlers. The moose is a celebrated symbol of the Alaskan wilderness. Why is anyone's guess. Moose can be irritable and fiercely protective—they've been known to charge people, horses, cars, and even locomotives. They remind me of our local javelina - so ugly they are cute. A moose can loose a pint of blood in a day to mosquitoes and they protect themselves from mosquitoes and other biting insects by submerging themselves in shallow ponds. This is where they also find tender water plants to munch.
