A young moose trudging through the snow looking for a meal spotted green plants in the lobby of a medical building in Alaska and decided to drop in for a snack.

The ingenious – or lucky – moose triggered the sensors on the automatic doors to the Providence Alaska Health Park building in Anchorage that houses the hospital’s cancer centre and other medical offices, said Randy Hughes, the hospital’s director of security.
