Moose checking in to hotel Anchorage, Alaska

I was night manager at a hotel in Anchorage, Alaska ..... while going to the laundry room to get something for a customer, I noticed a moose just peeking over the snow bank from down the hill. This isn't a small hill! So I watched her for awhile. I got back to the office and decided to go in my room and get my camera, moose pictures are always nice to pass along to others. My brother was visiting me at the time, he works just up the hill at a local gift shop.

We both went across the parking lot and there she was, once she got a little closer I knew she was probably about two years old. So I just started talking to her, aww are you alone? Where is your mom? and so on. I know I am pretty strange, but I absolutly love animals. She started following us. I had to stand behind one of our customers trucks because she was getting just a little to close.

Kept snapping pictures and talking to her, and she kept following us. She came up over the hill, walking across the parking lot, she kept coming!
around the dumpster, closer ... closer! Till she was right at the front door. I was telling my brother jeez get in here and shut the door. *lol*

He did come in, but went to my fridge and grabbed some carrots (he is a total animal lover also) so there was no stopping him! In Alaska we pretty much have a rule of thumb
and that is DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS (a fed bear is a dead bear) and so on.

But he HAD to feed her. While she was very close to the front door he was feeding her the carrots and he/she (brother and moose) dropped some and the moose kicked him gently on his elbow.













Just a few minutes later a couple were just coming in from work and what not. They also went and got some food and was feeding her and taking pics. Here is the set of pictures as she was walking up to the front door of the hotel to check in!!! hahaha
