BISMARCK, N.D. -- A young bull moose has been taking in the sights of North Dakota's capital city, visiting a mall, several backyards and wandering the grounds of the state Capitol. Bismarck Animal Control officials estimate the animal, which first was spotted Tuesday, is around a year old. Police are warning onlookers to keep their distance because the wild animal is likely to be stressed and volatile. Adult male moose can weigh up to 1,500 pounds.
