A young moose trudging through the snow looking for a meal spotted green plants in the lobby of a medical building in the Providence Alaska Health Park and decided to drop in for a dose of greenery.
The ingenious -- or lucky -- moose triggered the sensors on the automatic doors to the building that houses the hospital's cancer center and other medical offices, said Randy Hughes, the hospital's director of security.
Hughes believes it's the same moose that has been hanging around campus. And even though moose are commonplace in Alaska, they made an announcement over the intercom of the moose's presence out of safety concerns. "But it seemed like it was a magnet for people to come and see it," he said."It's not every day you get a moose walking into a building, so everybody was excited to take pictures and stuff like that."
