Wildlife officials killed the moose after reports were made of the animal charging at people in the area.
After the samples were taken, Fish and Game coordinated with the City of Teller to burn the carcass.
Alaska State Veterinarian Bob Gerlach and Alaska Wildlife Veterinarian Kimberlee Beckmen both said the moose was most likely bitten by a fox with the rabies virus, leading to it contracting the disease. Germain says one possibility for the high amount of rabies cases is a large fox population. It usually follows higher lemming populations, which are prey for foxes to feed on.
