My guess is that a moose that most likely went into a construction site in Centerville Utah on Saturday wandered into the area since the home that he called home in the forest is being taken away in the name of progress. The concerned person called the Centerville Police Department to ask them to remove the moose who gender is not known from the building under construction. The police officers who went to the Summerhill development where they used tranquilizers to knockout the moose and take the moose away from the construction site safely.

@Virtually2021 According to wildlife officials it is just a matter of time when animals will invade houses where they used to call their home in the wilderness.

I hope they carried the moose where he could find his herd.

Looking at the moose, I would think it was a female. It doesn't have antlers. I'm glad they could relocate her safely.

I am in agreement with you that the moose is female due to the lack of antlers.

Glad they were able to remove the moose safely. Perhaps he wanted a job in construction,

It is possible that the moose wanted to work in the construction industry.

A moose could be quite dangerous on a construction site.
