Alaska is full of animal stories. Hollywood is soon to begin filming the saga of the three grey whales that were trapped under the ice in Barrow two decades ago. A back yard animal rescue drama this week in Anchorage may never get star-studded treatment, although a young calf moose in trouble got a reprieve, thanks to fast work by state Fish and Game biologists and quick thinking neighbors.
