| Alaskan Moose Brings Down Chopper |
| 2007-03-05 |
| A helicopter is not necessarily a match for an angry moose. Instead of lying down after being shot with a tranquilizer dart, a moose charged a hovering helicopter used by a wildlife biologist, damaging the aircraft's tail rotor and forcing it to the ground. Moose, why do they hate us? The moose would start to move, and then the helicopter would back off and try to keep the moose out in the open," Larsen said. "It just had to be one of those quirky circumstance. Even dealing with bears and goats and moose and wolves, this is pretty unusual and truly a very unique situation," said Doug Larsen, regional supervisor for the Division of Wildlife Conservation. Bears and goats and moose and wolves, Oh My! But instead of moving toward open space, the moose charged the helicopter. Sargent Bullwinkle, your mission is to identify, close with, and destroy the enemy. One moose was killed in the making of this article. |
