This isn’t the first moose rescue that has occurred in the U.S. in recent months.
In June, a baby moose in Alaska was saved from what police described as its “sure demise” after it fell into a lake and became wedged between a floatplane and a dock.
Though one of the calf’s legs was stuck across the top of the plane’s float, the rescuers were still able to pull the moose safely from the water.
An officer helped the calf stand up on the boardwalk and watched it reunite with its mother.

Originally scheduled for June 28, the annual ride honors active military, veterans and fallen soldiers. 100% of the event’s proceeds will go to Operation Warm Heart and the Idaho Guard & Reserve Family Support Fund.
Organizers say the event will be rescheduled for Sunday, July 26.
“The safety of our riders, volunteers, and the public will always be our top priority,” Idaho Patriot Thunder Ride said in a Facebook post. “While we know many have been looking forward to this event, we believe postponing is the right decision to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for everyone.”
All events and scheduled activities will take place in July at the originally scheduled time blocks, organizers said.
The motorcyclists will ride in a law enforcement-escorted motorcade along eastbound I-84.
ITD warns that drivers should expect temporary ramp closures, rolling slowdowns and delays from Meridian to Mountain Home during the event.
