Two moose trot through deep snow to seek fresh browse near Kenai’s Floatplane Road on Monday, Nov. 20, 2017 in Kenai, Alaska. The pair were accompanied by a third, older moose (not pictured), possibly a mother. Drivers should keep in mind that moose are often accompanied by their calves through the winter — after a near miss with a moose on the road, it’s best to remember that a younger moose may follow it out of the woods.
