Maine Wildlife Wardens Rescue Bull Moose From Nine-Foot Abandoned Well

Recent wildlife observations and studies across several U.S. states highlight the presence and behaviors of moose in diverse environments. In South Dakota, a viral video captured a moose calmly grazing among cattle, an unusual sight since moose are not native to the state but occasionally pass through from neighboring regions. Michigan researchers are using GPS collars to track moose in the Upper Peninsula, uncovering insights into their seasonal movements, family dynamics, and breeding behaviors. In Maine, wildlife wardens successfully rescued a bull moose trapped in an abandoned well, underscoring community efforts to protect moose populations amid environmental challenges. Montana’s Bridger Bowl area also featured a rare sighting of two massive bull moose strolling on ski slopes, reminding locals of the state's rich wildlife heritage. Collectively, these reports emphasize the significance of moose conservation and the intriguing interactions these large mammals have with their habitats and human communities.
