Anchorage moose steps onto an icy driveway… and the driveway wins

A Ring camera in Anchorage, Alaska, filmed a moose step from a lawn onto an icy driveway, slip onto its backside and slide down to the road – then get up and walk off.

Ice and a moose is a combination that rarely ends with dignity.

Early on Tuesday 10 November 2026 in Anchorage, Alaska, Jeremy Saporito’s Ring camera filmed a moose step from his lawn onto his icy driveway, slip immediately, land on its backside and slide all the way down to the road – then get up and walk off as if nothing had happened, UPI Odd News reported (Ben Hooper, 11 November 2026).

It is the sort of tumble familiar to anyone who has ever left the house in January with too much confidence and the wrong shoes. The moose, at least, did not have to pretend it meant to do that.
