This is not an unusual Anchorage situation. A moose browsing on the side of the bike trail. You can see how, despite its size, it's not all that obvious. I probably would have biked past it. I would have been too far along to stop by the time I saw it, except there were two runners stopped on the trail and a biker on the other side of the moose.
Basically, moose that browse like this are used to people going by them on the trail and tend to ignore you. And the biker on the other side rode by eventually, and two more bikers rode by at a pretty fast clip. The moose didn't stop browsing. I was in no rush and I enjoy watching these critters. Eventually, it moved along, ate a little more, the crossed the trail and went further off the trail.
I stopped on way past him to get this last shot.
It is beautiful out and lots of people are on the trails.
This is the Campbell Creek greenbelt bike trail, with city not far off on both sides. But along the creek is a lovely bit of urban wilderness.
