Location: Anchorage, Alaska

Hi there ! I am known as Moose
From the Algonquin word meaning "twig eater"
I have no sweat glands so only live where it's cold,
And my antlers can span over 2 meters.

Guest photographer: Rachel Simpson

This week marks the start of my special series of guest photographers who are sheltering in place. I hope you all enjoy this trip around the world!
