A large moose is back where it belongs after wandering into the backyard of a Colorado home.
Officials with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office shared the successful rescue of the “meandering moose” on X along with photos and videos.
“How do you move a 600lb #moose? We found out because it took 8 people to move this one. Mr. Moose was peering in windows & taking a break in a yard,” the post read.
The animal could stand up to 7 feet tall, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
The eight officers, including animal control officials, are seen in the video lifting the moose on a large tarp before slowly carrying the animal into the back of a trailer.
Adult male moose weigh between 1,200 to 1,600 pounds while adult females weigh 800 to 1,300 pounds, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game

In June, a baby moose in Alaska was saved from what police described as its “sure demise” after it fell into a lake and became wedged between a floatplane and a dock.
Though one of the calf’s legs was stuck across the top of the plane’s float, the rescuers were still able to pull the moose safely from the water.
An officer helped the calf stand up on the boardwalk and watched it reunite with its mother.
