According to Alaska Department of Fish and Game Biologist Dave Saalfeld, Anchorage likely has a higher population of moose and humans living together than people might think.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Anchorage is unique for many reasons, but here’s one people may not have thought of. According to Alaska Department of Fish and Game Biologist Dave Saalfeld, the city likely has one of the highest populations of moose and humans living together in the world.

“The estimate we got was around 300 moose with a range around 275 to 350,” Saalfeld said. “Which is a lot of moose in a small area.” Biologists didn’t just count moose for the study; they used dart guns to collect tiny tissue samples from the moose as well. Saalfeld said that allowed them to make sure they weren’t duplicating animals in the count.
