Moose mainly browse on trees and shrubs, but they will also sample something new. They have a soft spot for pumpkins left out after Halloween.

多达1000头驼鹿在冬天来到安克雷奇,这里的降雪比周围的山区小很多,花园还能提供美味的食物。事实上,早在城市建立前,驼鹿就生活在这里了。而安克雷奇的当地居民也对这个本土的破坏者十分理解。

But there’s another reason why the city center is a tempting winter hang-out—it’s one place where their major predator, the wolf, rarely dares to go.
但是还有一个原因能够说明为什么城市中心成为驼鹿冬季喜欢去的地方——他们的主要捕杀者,狼不敢来这里。
