An American woman was hit in the back of the head by a moose while walking her dog. NBC News in the United States reported the same on the 22nd (local time) along with the informant’s video.
Kate Timmons, who lives in Anchorage, Alaska, was filming a giant moose in the snow outside her car at the time. Moose, who was slowly walking along the sidewalk, suddenly sped up and hit Tracy Hansen, who was walking her dog, in the back of the head with her front left hoof. Surprised, Timmons shouted “Careful!” over and over again. After hitting his head, Hansen collapsed and was able to escape the scene with the help of the Timmons family.
NBC News YouTube captureHansen said in an NBC interview, “I thought someone hit me with a bicycle or something,” and “I touched the back of my head and it was bleeding.” “I asked Timmons and her husband, who got out of the car to help me, ‘Is Moose behind me? Was it a moose?” he said.
“Moose seemed to kick (to Hansen) for no reason,” Timmons said. “It happened so quickly,” Timmons said. He added, “Like her husband, she caused Hansen. Afterwards, we helped get Hansen and her dog into the truck to get her to her destination.”
This road, where the incident occurred, was the road Hansen took for a walk with his dog three times a day. Currently, Hansen is recovering from bruises and headaches. She said her dog was not seriously injured.
Meanwhile, the moose is a chordate belonging to the deer family and is known as the largest extant deer. An adult moose can weigh up to 800 kg and grow up to 3 m in length. Males have flat, palm-shaped horns that grow up to 1.5 m.
