"Morty the Moose ambled his way into our hearts during the 90s TV series Northern Exposure opening credits. Anne Gordon, the show's animal handler, found the young moose at Washington State University, where he was part of a captive herd. Morty was an orphan from Alaska and had been raised on a bottle.
To do the opening sequence, the crew fenced off the town of Roslyn, set him loose, and lured him around with bananas and willow leaves. According to The Northern Exposure Book, Morty was paid $5,000 for his work because "he's the only working moose in the business."
Morty died on Jan 6, 1994, possibly of a copper and cobalt deficiency. He was approximately 5 years old. Moose only live about 6 or 7 years in captivity, compared to 16 years in the wild. He left behind many off-spring, including Melody and Matilda, who were born in the Spring of 1993."
