Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers came to the rescue of a young bull moose that plunged into a canal and was unable to find its way out of the water.
CPW posted a video to social media showing officers working together with Bureau of Reclamation personnel to rescue the moose from a canal in Estes Park.
The video shows rescuers typing the moose’s antlers to keep it steady while they tranquilized the animal and tied a rope around its midsection.
The moose was then hoisted out of the water by a crane and returned to dry land.
CPW said the moose “survived with minimal injuries” and was released back into the wild.
