Rescued Moose







This moose breaks through the Chilkat river ice and cannot get out, one of these men are driving by and sees her so he calls the Fish and Wildlife and asks if they will do anything. 45 minutes pass and no one responds, so he decides to do something. A call goes out and 2 other men stop by to help. The moose had stuggled to stay afloat and went under twice, once she calmed down she realized the men were there to help her and even let them pet her. Eventually, they got a rope under the belly and she was able to get out. After resting a bit on her side she walked away. The men did not know this at the time, but the moose was a pregnant cow.
