Just after 3 a.m., Dana DeBernardi’s phone rang. On the other end of the line was the Anchorage Police Department asking her to come quickly: Two moose calves were on the loose. Their mother had been hit by a car, and the orphaned calves needed someone to take them in.
Shortly after, DeBernardi arrived on the scene with her interns. They brought out soft netting, which they planned to use to safely and gently catch the twins. These two, however, were particularly difficult to capture. They kept running back and forth across the road. After catching the moose, DeBernardi put the calves in the extra-large dog crates nestled in the back of her truck. She named the baby moose Run and Evade.
