Trapped Baby Moose Freed By Police Gets A Ride-along In Wildlife Vehicle

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 31 May, 2016 11:15 AM
  • Trapped Baby Moose Freed By Police Gets A Ride-along In Wildlife Vehicle
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Wildlife officers had an unusual ride-along in one of their trucks after finding a baby moose under a stairwell in St. John's, N.L.
 
The animal became trapped in an outdoor porch stairwell of a home in the city's east end after getting separated from its mother.
 
Wildlife officers removed the moose, but police say he was too small to ride in the bed of their truck.
 
So, he hopped into the back seat.
 
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary joked on Twitter that officers caught the "little fella trying to break into an east end home" and then placed him in the car where "this babe is riding shotgun (well not quite)."
 
Police posted pictures of the moose in the stairwell and curled up at the officer's feet in the wildlife truck, adding that the animal's mother was not be found.
