The video shows the huge animal poking around the greenery in the lobby near an entrance and even gazing at the camera, before moseying out the same way it came in.
Moose are known for their sometimes-aggressive behavior, especially during mating season.
But Hupton told The Associated Press this cow moose seemed pretty laid-back and said she never felt threatened by the animal.
The frozen entrance was wide open and there were tasty plants in the lobby. Can you really blame the moose?!

A hospital spokesperson confirmed the moose entered the building through doors that were frozen open because of the extreme cold in Anchorage. The AP reported the animal nibbled a few plants in the lobby and then left about 10 minutes.
