Moose Takes Up Whitewater Rafting
A moose in Maine has taken up a new hobby - whitewater rafting. Well, without the raft, but the idea is the same. The moose wandered along in the middle of downtown Camden, Maine in the Megunticook River then took a trip over the falls.
Police department member Paul Spear said the moose was reported around 10 p.m. in the river in the Tannery Lane area, and that game wardens were notified. A warden visited, but decided to see if the animal could find its own way out.
Spear said the animal is believed to have eventually taken a trip down the falls toward the harbor, and to have taken off under its own steam to parts more suitable for it.
They have pictures, too. Meanwhile, over in Burlington, Vermont another moose was spotted eying an in-ground pool, apparently trying to decide if it was a good place for whitewater rafting.
Residents in Burlington's south end reported seeing a moose running through back yards early Friday morning.
Carlos and Kerrie Theye said the moose wandered around their back yard around 8:30 a.m. for about five minutes.
They have video.
