Is it true that moose were attacking airplanes in Anchorage several years ago?
If that’s what you heard, then somebody along the way has exaggerated the story a bit. Bull moose lose their antlers in the fall and often try to speed the process up by rubbing them again large objects such as trees or boulders. If a moose happens to be wandering through an airport when it decides to start scraping, it’ll use any large object it can find, such as a small private single-engine airplane. Several small private airplanes near Anchorage’s international airport were damaged this way, but no airplanes have actually been ‘attacked’.
