What is that shape in the distance? Is it a Bigfoot?
Nope, it’s just a moose in the middle. There’s a lesson somewhere in this story.
Sometimes moose watchers don’t have to go deep into the woods to see one. They just have to drive down Route 1 on the Brunswick-Topsham line in Maine. This week, eyewitnesses have reported a moose on an island in the Androscoggin River.
How did it get there? Wardens believe the moose went over the dam and washed up on the island. They plan to leave alone, hoping that when the water on the river goes down, the animal will find a way to get itself back to dry land on its own.
The moose has caused quite a spectacle. Route 1 winds along the edge of the river, and passing motorists have had a good view of the animal, according to television station WCSH6, midweek.
But things change rapidly in the natural world.
Today, the station updated their story.
The moose stuck on the small island in the Androscoggin River waterfront has moved on.
The two year old male moose somehow made landfall on an island just below the energy dam in the town of Brunswick, Maine. People who have been monitoring the situation told local station WCSH6 that the moose was able to make it off the island to safety.
People who live nearby believe the moose (thankfully unnamed) is now safe and sound, somewhere in the woods.
Raw footage of the moose, on the island eating, can be seen here. A news reporter detailing the story, with interviews, is here.
