    Synopsis

    The Alaskan moose is the biggest kind of moose out there. You'll see them everywhere in Alaska. They are loved, hated, cared for, hunted, and eaten. Moose seem cute, but in fact, they are often considered more dangerous than the bears in the woods. But you don't only find them in the forest – you'll see them in front of the grocery store, in your backyard or on the side of the road – if not on the road. Almost every day in winter, there's a crash with a moose. They then often end up in a fridge, and sometimes leave behind an abandoned calf. Some of them are found and later let back into the wild. We will take a look at this circle of life of the Alaskan moose, and get a glimpse into the everyday lives of Alaskans and their 600kg neighbours.
