"CT DEEP Warns Motorists of Moose Sightings Near I-91 in Windsor Locks"

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) in Connecticut has issued a warning to drivers to be cautious after a moose was spotted near a highway exit. With a small population of about 100 animals, moose can pose a serious threat to public safety if they wander onto roadways. DEEP advises drivers to slow down, drive defensively, and be aware of moose, as collisions with them are more likely to result in human fatalities compared to deer collisions. They also urge people not to approach moose, as they can become aggressive and exhibit unpredictable behavior.
