A popular hiking trail in the Adirondack Mountains of New York has been closed for more than a month because of a moose exhibiting unusual behaviors. State officials from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) have stated that the bull moose may be sick, prompting the closure to monitor the situation. Despite efforts to encourage the moose to leave, it remains stubbornly on the trail, further delaying the reopening. The DEC has urged hikers to stay away from the area and will provide updates on when the trail might be safe to reopen.
