One courageous swimmer made a splash taking a dip in a cold Bedford, New Hampshire, pool Thursday morning, native police reported — a moose.
Round 8:45 a.m. Bedford Police and Fireplace departments responded to studies of the wild animal in a swimming pool at a home on Riddle Drive.
The responders arrived to search out an “adult moose in a swimming pool under a pool cover,” police reported.
They eliminated the quilt to let the animal out, the division stated. Bedford Police video exhibits the large animal apparently confused as the quilt is slowly lifted, dealing with backwards into the quilt earlier than turning to see the responders.
The moose lumbers in the direction of the shallow finish, the place the water comes as much as solely about half its legs, and shortly hops out, the video exhibits. The animal then trots to the facet yard, pauses and unhurriedly leaves right into a wooded space.
No additional motion was taken, Bedford Police acknowledged.
“I want to remind residents that moose can be very dangerous animals due to their size, and we appreciate that residents called us this morning to assist with this situation,” stated Chief Douidi. “We’re pleased that no people or animals were harmed in this incident.”
