In this July 2009 photo, a stranded moose browses around a rock in the middle of the Androscoggin River near the dam that runs from Brunswick to Topsham, Maine. In Maine, which has the nation’s biggest moose population outside Alaska, moose have caused crashes across the state, even in cities where motorists don’t expect them. “They’re everywhere. Moose is Maine’s most deadly animal,” said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Public Safety Department in Augusta.
