CBC New Brunswick - Cow moose wanders Moncton streets
"A large moose spent Monday morning wandering the streets of urban Moncton.
RCMP and Natural Resources officers spent hours tracking the two-year-old cow moose from Harrison Trimble High School to the Moncton Hospital parking lot.
Provincial wildlife biologist Duane Sabine says moose sightings in suburban Moncton are common, but not in heavily populated areas.
Sabine says the animal might have been young and disoriented – or maybe just sick. 'Sometimes in the fall you get yearlings dispersing to new home ranges. They may be striking out and not knowing where they're going and they may end up in a city.'
Police watched the animal to ensure it didn't venture closer to the city's downtown area. It crossed several roads but didn't cause any traffic problems. After several hours, RCMP officers and DNR officials were able to coax the moose back into the woods.
DNR officials say the moose was last seen in the woods in Centennial Park. The area is being monitored."
