Alaska is a wild place where the wildlife rules the land!
A woman in Alaska was kicked in the head by a moose while walking her dog.
Tracy Hansen took her dog, Gunner, out for a walk on the same path she normally does three times a day. However, their third walk on Feb. 16 took a wild turn.
A moose unexpectedly ran behind Hansen while she was walking on the sidewalk near a car dealership and casually kicked her in the head…and then kept on running!
“I thought someone had not been paying attention and hit me with a bike or something,” Hansen told KTUU. “I had put my hands up to my head, and I’m like, ‘I’m bleeding.’”
It wasn’t until she sat up that Hansen realized the moose that she and her dog had walked past earlier was not in front of her.
“Knowing that the moose had been somewhere behind me and now, here this moose is in front of me, and I’m like, ‘Was that the moose?’” Hansen said.
