The long-touted Fiordland Moose is our own version of Bigfoot. A new alleged sighting has people talking.
An American tramper reported seeing a moose on the Kepler Track earlier this month.
Moose were introduced to the area in 1910, but the last known official sighting of the animal was in the 1950s.
There have been dozens of unofficial sightings over the years, leading some to believe a small population has been able to survive in the remote native bush.
One of those who believes the Moose live on is biologist and author Ken Tustin who has dedicated the best part of the last 30 years to finding them. He joins Emile Donovan.
