Brian
Meet Brian, the official ‘moosecot’ of the Mudflats. Brian is actually a real moose that often visits Mudflats Central and amuses us all with his crazy antics like running off with swingsets, doing a bit of yoga on the lawn, occasionally raiding the compost, and staring in rapt attention at window cleaning. Now Brian has a portable plastic avatar of himself that can be spirited around town much more easily than the real thing. Here is Brian hanging out with some of his political friends in Alaska and beyond…
