Quintessentially Canadian video shows peckish moose licking salt off car

To this moose, a car is but a delicious lollipop.

Days after the government in Alberta, Canada warned residents about car-licking moose, Theresa and Gerhard Malan spotted one slurping away at a parked car in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.

Curious, the Malans decided to pull over, staying very still as the moose made its way over to them.

Turns out, their car was an appetizing snack, too.

Officially, the Alberta Parks Department recommends that drivers honk their horns if a moose approaches their vehicle. However, it urges residents not to try to push a moose away from the car, as the animals may become aggressive.
