Trapped moose is back on the loose after a little help from humans

A moose is back on the loose after getting stuck in a Park City construction site Tuesday.

The Park City Fire District tweeted that the moose got trapped inside the foundation of a building under construction, and firefighters, joined by officers from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, responded. Rescuers used straps to help remove the moose from the flooded foundation.

“It took a little trial and error, but the moose was eventually freed,” according to PCFD.

That wasn’t the only moose encounter in Summit County on Tuesday. The Utah Highway Patrol tweeted a video of a mother moose and its newborn babies who “got a little mixed up and separated in traffic.”

Officers were able to reunite them, and watched as the moose moved away from the road.
