Moose Sets Up Shop in Alaskan Hospital Lobby Like It Owns the Joint
Only in Alaska!
Visitors to Alaska's largest hospital in Anchorage on Thursday were pleasantly surprised when a young moose wandered into the hospital lobby and started snacking on some plants. The unexpected visitor provided a delightful break from the standard hospital routine and brought a smile to the faces of those present who posted video clips and Facebook updates on social media.

CBS News reports: Although wildlife sightings are a normal occurrence on the hospital campus, there is no code for when a moose enters a building, Mikal Canfield, a spokesperson for Providence, Alaska told the news outlet.
"Moose visit throughout the year and we see an occasional bear during the summer months," Canfield said, adding most are without incident. "This is the first time in recent memory that a moose has come inside."
The security team was eventually able to coax the moose back outside. A few people are heard in the video cheering when the moose exited through the automatic doors.
After finding a patch of grass, it settled down for a nap, according to Canfield.
That's great news that the moose was able to get back outside without being harmed and we are sure visitors to the hospital enjoyed seeing him! Now, we just hope this poor thing is able to find its mom!
