Teamwork of citizens rescuing a moose trapped in a river in Fairbanks

Lake Charles, Louisiana

April 12, 2023 3:47pm CST

Thanks to the kind act of Fairbanks resident Gary Niese who saw a moose that was struggling to get out of the Chena River on Easter Sunday. Gary then asked for help from his neighbors as well as getting help from Alaska State Police and wildlife officials to work together to rescue a moose that fell into the river and could not get out od danger. The method of getting the moose out of the river was to tie the moose and drag him or her out of the river. The moose was able to leave the river under his or her own power to walk on safely in the area. Link is upi.com/1511681137001 via @upi

That's hard work! A mouse ain't the lightest creature in the world! Good coordination by the rescue workers!

Your team has demonstrated the relationship between man and nature. People should protect and pay attention to the living environment and health of wild animals and try to avoid the impact of human activities on the natural environment and wild animals
