Moose on the loose in Fredericton, New Brunswick

This is a cow moose I followed for two hours after my friends called me to let me know she was swimming in the Saint John River, in Fredericton New Brunswick. She swam across the river 3 times before she decided to come out of the water. I was able to track her down underneath the Princess Margaret Bridge. From there, I followed her for approximately 1 hour before the police arrived, and asked me to leave because people were holding up traffic, so I did. I went to bring a woman home that was clearly upset, because we both taught the police and DNR were going to put the moose down. So I drove her home, and went back.
I went up in the trail parallel to the Lincoln road, and started taking photos of the DNR officer besides the moose. I told him that if they had to put the moose down, I would not take those photos. Unfortunately, the trail goes up rapidly which meant that I was only going to be able to take a few more photos before I lost them in the trees. Someone was on my side when the moose went behind someone's house, and decided to come back up on the trail right in front of me. From there, being alone with the officers, they let me tag along. What a beautiful scene seeing the officers walk besides the moose like if it was a little dog. The young cow moose was probably 1 1/2 old, a few times she showed us that she was indeed a wild animal and was not to be messed with. But after two full hours of walking with the moose, we were able to see her walk to safety up in the field at the experimental farm in Lincoln. Don't know if she's still there today, but I want to thank every officer that let me join them in this amazing adventure.

Thank you very much for viewing my video, and hope you send it to all your friends. Enjoy!
