A moose on the loose turned aggressive when it spotted a parked car and mailbox in Anchorage, US.

Footage shows the wild animal bashing the vehicle with its antlers before turning its attention to the home's mailbox.

The filmer said: "As I left my home with my dogs for our morning walk, I noticed a moose peacefully nibbling out of my neighbour's yard.

"When we returned from the walk, the moose was agitated and attacking my car and mailbox. I initially started recording in order to document for insurance, and also to share with friends and family. The attack went on much longer than I initially expected.

"Eventually, I tried to call my husband at work to see if he could help me contact someone to help. When he didn't answer, I ended up calling 911. While I was on the phone with the 911 operator, the moose ran off.

"My dogs were well-behaved during the whole incident, and no animals or people were injured."
