Watch rescuers work to save an exhausted, shivering moose from a rushing Utah river

Have you ever wondered how a stuck moose gets rescued? A new video from the Utah Division of Wildlife shows it isn’t too easy.

Division of Wildlife Resources officers and biologists rescued a massive moose Sunday, video shows. The moose was stuck in rushing water of a river at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon and jammed near a water grate.

“DWR biologists, officers and workers from the Strawberry Water Users Association worked together to save this exhausted and shivering yearling bull moose from the river and water grate yesterday,” the division said on Facebook.

The video shows the moose being lifted out of the water by a harness and dangling while officials worked to restrain itwhile they moved it away from the water.

Then they lowered the moose, removed the restraints and it was on its way.

Between 2,500 and 3,000 moose live in Utah, according to DWR. They are the largest animals in the deer family, and usually eat aquatic vegetation.

They weigh between 800 and 1,200 pounds and can be 6 feet tall at the shoulder.

“In my years of working with wildlife, I have dealt with bears, rattlesnakes, cougars and moose, and the only species that I’ve had turn and come back at me was a moose,” Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Big Game Coordinator Covy Jones said in a news release. “People often underestimate how aggressive they can be.”
