Officers with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in Colorado successfully moved a 600-pound moose from a local yard with eight deputies assisting. The large animal is now safe.
A large moose is back where it belongs after wandering into the backyard of a Colorado home. Officials with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office shared the successful rescue of the 'meandering moose' on X along with photos and videos. 'How do you move a 600lb #moose?

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.
