A woman in Alaska is home licking her wounds after a kicking scrape with a moose in downtown Anchorage, according to the Anchorage Daily News. The moose was feeding on the leaves of trees in a local park when the woman tried to the pet the animal. When she got too close, the moose kicked her in the chest and shoulder.
