A massive moose approached a woman unpacking her shopping and tried to steal sweet potatoes from her trolley.<br /><br />Amber Rotar had just finished her weekly shop at Costco in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, on February 10 when a huge male appeared next to her car.<br /><br />Amazing footage shows the moose stood just metres away from Amber before it stuck its mouth in her trolley and attempted to eat through a bag of sweet potatoes.<br /><br />Due to heavy snowfall in the area, food sources have been scarce for the wild animals, which has caused them to venture closer to humans.<br /><br />Amber said: “I was born and raised in Alaska, so I'm used to seeing moose all over – at the roadside, on trails, in the yard – but never quite so close without a wall or a window separating us.<br /><br />“Fortunately he wasn't displaying any aggression, so I wasn't fearful as much as experiencing a healthy dose of apprehension.<br /><br />“I was more impatient than anything, as I was there for my business and he was making me run behind schedule.<br /><br />“He was stood there for some time before I even decided to take the video, maybe five minutes in total.<br /><br />“He was particularly interested in the sweet potatoes and bell peppers but he was unable to remove anything, as they were all bagged.<br /><br />“I did offer to give a bag of sweet potatoes to the Costco manager following him around the parking lot, but he kindly reminded me that feeding wild animals is illegal.”
