Americans are having a field day after learning about a bizarre digital sign in Jasper National Park, Alberta, warning visitors: “Do not let moose lick your car.” Jasper National Park Spokesman Steve Young warned that moose can be a danger to motorists if they get too familiar and start actively seeking out cars for a snack, reports CNN . “They’re obsessed with salt, it’s one of the things they need for the minerals in their body,” said Young. “They usually get it from salt lakes in the park, but now they realized they can also get road salt that splashes on to cars.” Canadians will be familiar with official warnings against interacting with wildlife in and around national parks — offenders can be fined as much as $25,000 — but the peculiarity of the moose obsession with salt piqued the interest of American news outlets. Both the New York Times and CNN were quick to pick up on a story that seemingly affirms American notions of what life is like in Canada.

What if he wants to run a knuckle along the side of it? Just asking for a friend.

How do you stop a moose from licking your car? You ask really, really politely.

Evidently this has been an issue for awhile... "Aggressive Moose Encounter" would be a great name for a band.

They should put a few salt blocks off a distance from the road, they're not expensive and would be healthier for the critters.
