So this moose walks into a medical building...
In this Thursday, April 6, 2023 image provided by Providence Alaska, a moose stands inside a Providence Alaska Health Park building in Anchorage. While that could be a setup to a bad joke, it actually happened in Anchorage on Thursday.
The ingenious — or lucky — moose triggered the sensors on the automatic doors to the building that houses the hospital’s cancer center and other medical offices, said Randy Hughes, the hospital’s director of security. Hughes believes it’s the same moose that has been hanging around campus. And even though moose are commonplace in Alaska, they made an announcement over the intercom of the moose’s presence out of safety concerns.
