Moose involved in Steamboat Springs attack relocated ...Middle East

The moose that attacked a woman at River Creek Park in Steamboat Springs was relocated Wednesday outside the city with her two calves, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Wildlife officers watched the three moose for two days before deciding to move them, according to a news release from the agency.

The risk to the moose’s safety and the safety of people living in the area was too high, and the three animals were too comfortable to move out of the city on their own, agency officials said in the release.

Officers tranquilized the cow moose on Wednesday and loaded her into a horse trailer, according to the release. The two calves were then picked up, fully awake, and put into the trailer with her.

All three were taken to an unspecified area outside of Steamboat Springs, agency officials said.

The mother was fitted with a collar and will be monitored by Colorado Parks and Wildlife as part of a moose population and movement study being conducted in Steamboat Springs, agency officials said.

It’s common to see moose in and around Steamboat, wildlife officers said in the release.

Moose are often found in areas near water with an abundance of willows, their primary food source. It’s important to maintain a safe distance from moose and to keep dogs on a leash when hiking in moose habitat, agency officials said.

If you know there’s moose in the area or see signs warning about an aggressive animal, you should find another spot to spend time outdoors, officials said.
