Moose: Alaskan Car Wash

A young, skinny moose (2 years old?) spent nearly an hour licking the road salt from our truck this morning.

Before both sides of the truck were filthy
Yummy
Skinny but tall!
After the moose wash!

So much cleaner!  Wish he had done a better job around the door handles though.  🙂

    I’ll bet he was thinking that you were sure to have left some morsels to nibble.

      C did suggest that we turn the truck around & hope he comes back to clean the other side 🙂

        It was probably just the salt.

        I tried to get C to lick to see what tasted so good.

    Clyde and I had to laugh- of all our years spent up here that is a first. Have not seen it or have heard of it before. But moose do like salt!

      Glad you got a laugh out of it – it is hilarious! We watched him for so long. When we got up close to the truck after he left we were shocked what a good job he did.
