Good Samaritans Make Safe Ice Crossing for Moose

Occurred on January 9, 2019 / Anchorage, Alaska, USA

Info from Licensor: "We saw the moose cross the skating rink around lunch time. It slipped on its way. We watched her circle the rink, trying the ice in several places. After about two hours, we decided to help. Several of us gathered to mull over the best way to make a crossing. Yoga mats seemed like an obvious choice for grip, but we scoured the building and our cars for anything that could be useful since it’s a fairly long stretch of ice. After that, we armed up with yoga mats, pieces of carpet, entryway mats, and dog towels to make a path. She apparently didn't like the initial location of our path as she refused to use the path for 45 minutes or so, so we moved it to a corner that she had tested several times, at which point she finally crossed."
