Officials have killed the first rabid moose reported in North America after it was spotted 'drooling' and 'being very aggressive towards people' in an Alaskan town.The giant horned animal was initially seen bleeding and covered in patchy fur, and after being put down, it tested positive for an Arctic fox variant of rabies. wildlife officials believe an infected fox bit the moose and are now widening surveillance efforts to track rabies, testing all brain samples from wild mammals found dead or euthanized in shelters across the regions plagued by Arctic fox rabies within the past year.
