Moose Attack!

She looks perfectly docile, right? Far from it. 
We reached Denali Park this afternoon and settled in for the night. We were not able to hook up to water in this RV park, so we had to use the campground showers. 
We had been hearing warnings about an aggressive mother moose that had twins. She liked to hang around near people, but she had already sent two people to the hospital, so we had to be cautious as we walked the trails.

As Lydia and I were walking out from our showers, we saw the mother and her babies standing just off the trail, about forty feet from the building's deck. I didn't have my camera so we dashed back to the RV and ran back. By that time the babies were lying down and she was settling in as well.

She was lying down as I was snapping pictures. We saw her head turn and she stared intently at something. I looked up and saw a man walking through the woods about fifty feet from her. He had no idea she was there. She jumped up and dashed full speed through the woods. Dad shouted a warning and the man jumped out of the way just in time. It was a close miss. Several other people got a good scare too.

We will be going on an 11 hour bus tour into Denali Park tomorrow. I am looking forward to that! Expect lots of pictures!

Wow! Talk about scary! I'm sure it was rather exciting and I'm very glad no one was hurt. Mrs. Moose's babies were cute. :)
