ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A young and hungry moose caused a stir when it strolled through the front doors of a Providence Alaska medical facility Thursday afternoon in Anchorage — apparently without an appointment.
In the only-in-Alaska videos posted to social media Thursday, the juvenile moose's ears peeked from behind a potted plant it was munching on, briefly impervious to the attention it received from bystanders at Providence Health Park.
Patients and staff clustered behind behind a row of wheelchairs in the lobby while a team of security guards and a few members of the public formed a human wall around the moose — which appeared calm and interested solely in the lobby's foliage — to help safely usher the animal back out the automatic doors it had used to enter the building.
