I don’t know why I don’t hear about this stuff when it happens. Last weekend
A maverick moose calf has been reunited with its herd, but not before playing hooky in Saskatoon’s river valley for several hours.
Police say they were call about a moose running at large in the city’s Buena Vista neighborhood.
They were eventually able to herd the wayward animal into the riverbank area, where they helped conservation officers shoo the moose across the water to reunite with a second moose.
But the young truant eventually re-crossed and wandered back into the city.
That’s when wildlife officers tranquillized the bull moose, believed to be about one year old, and returned it to a small herd that live in the Pike Lake area.
No word on whether the herd imposed a curfew on the calf.
And the police report a case of another this weekend:
The moose ran at large for approximately 3 hours and was eventually tranquilized in the Grovenor Park neighborhood. Officers from SERM will be removing the moose from the city.
The Star Phoenix has a few photos of the first one.
