'You Can't Watch a Movie!' Moose Wanders into Cinema in Pursuit of a Snack

A cheeky moose on the hunt for a snack wandered into a cinema in the small town of Kenai, Alaska, on April 19.

Video filmed by Kenai Cinema employee, Jasmynne Palmer, shows the moose stick its head inside a McDonald’s Happy Meal box near the trash can.

“I was super shocked… He smelled the amazing aroma of the popcorn and thought he should have a taste!” Palmer told Storyful.

Palmer said the moose stayed inside for around 10 minutes before being safely escorted out by her coworkers.

“I wasn’t raised in Alaska, so I wasn’t aware that a baby moose is mostly harmless. But you never know with wildlife animals,” she said.

“It was still a cool experience.” Credit: Jasmynne Palmer via Storyful
