VIDEO: Wildlife officials extract moose that became trapped in basement of Colorado home
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — Housekeepers got the shock of a lifetime on Monday when they showed up to a home only to discover a 1,200-pound moose in the basement.According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the animal had been foraging for grass near a home off Ski Hill Road in Breckenridge. That's when the moose fell through a snow-covered window well and into the home's basement, becoming trapped downstairs.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers were called to the home to get the moose back in the wild. They opened doors to create exits for the animal, but it wouldn't make its way up the stairs. CPW said officials removed the moose's antlers to fit it through the staircase and reduce further damage to the home. They added that moose typically lose their antlers this time of year and regrow them in the spring.
The homeowner, Jane Barber, wasn't present at the time of the moose's visit. But she says she's just glad the animal is OK.
