Social media was all atwitter over a loose moose that waded into Wascana Lake on Monday.
The young bull moose was spotted standing in the lake near Willow Island. The animal later swam to a nearby island to rest and feed on water vegetation.
A spokesperson for Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Environment says conservation officers are working with Wascana Centre Authority staff to monitor the situation.
Officials say the moose is not causing any harm and is not a threat to public safety. However, they are reminding people to keep their distance and contact authorities when they see a moose, as the large, wild animals can be very unpredictable.
If the moose doesn’t leave Regina on its own, it could possibly be tranquilized and relocated or hazed out of the city.
