Cars.

(CNN)Canadians, officials have an important message for you: "Do not let moose lick your car."
Yes, you read that right.
Officials in Jasper, an alpine town in Canada's Alberta province, have put up signs asking motorists to avoid allowing moose to lick the salt, a treat moose find hard to resist, off their cars.
"They're obsessed with salt, it's one of the things they need for the minerals in their body," Jasper National Park spokesman Steve Young told CNN. "They usually get it from salt lakes in the park, but now they realized they can also get road salt that splashes onto cars."
At the Jasper National Park, where people often park on the side of the road in hopes of catching a glimpse of the moose, letting the animals near your car is actually a serious danger.

Love it! Thank you for bringing this "important" news to my attention.
I will pass it along to my bride who used to live in moose country in Canada and in central Alaska--where the two most dangerous things she faced were the winters and a moose searching for romance (it is unclear whether the moose thought her car was a potential romantic competitor or a potential romantic conquest--and she chose not to hang around to find out!).
