In images that have become a social media trend, a baby moose was rescued when it was about to die in an Alaskan lake. A man and two police officers risked their lives to get the animal out.
Baby moose rescued
In the video you can see the baby moose trapped between the wood of a dock and the structure of a seaplane that was parked in the water. Right in that small space between the aircraft and the dock was the moose with no options to move.
@spencerwarren1What a wild morning. Had to save a baby moose that fell into the lake and got stuck between the float plane and the dock. Thanks to the Homer PD for distracting the mama moose and the officer for helping me pull the baby out♬ original sound – Spencer Warren
According to first reports, the moose slipped on the wood and fell into the water. In something that made the episode even more dramatic, his mother was a few meters away from the baby when the incident occurred. In fact, her mother did not let the police officers approach the moose, but after a few seconds they were able to control her to begin the rescue.
“Anytime you can rescue a little critter, it always makes you feel good,” said Ryan Browning, from the Homer Police Department in Alaska.
