Seriously, Alaskans see the strangest things.   Check this out:

It’s nice to learn from other people’s mistakes, and in Alaska, sometimes those “people” are moose.

Late last year, Unalakleet school teacher Brad Webster and a friend made the unusual discovery of two bull moose partially frozen under the ice, locked at the antlers.

The two men found the moose while walking along a frozen slough about 10 miles outside of town, near Covenant Bible Camp.

Webster says there are several theories on what happened to the moose, but the most likely scenario to play out is that the two moose were fighting over a female when one was knocked unconscious or suffered a broken neck, taking the other one down with it.

“There was a fight and one of them won, and they both lost,” Webster said. “Once it’s knocked out or once it’s dead, you’ve got a live moose that won the fight, but the other moose is dragging you down into the water.”

They couldn’t remove the entire moose bodies, though the moose were preserved so perfectly.  However, the men removed the heads of the moose so they could mount them on the wall — still interlocked.

Yes, that seems like a sermon illustration waiting to happen.
