Authorities are tracking a young quirky who is thought to have gotten lost and was spotted walking around Laval University in Quebec City on Wednesday morning.
The animal was first seen around 4:40 a.m. Wednesday. A few citizens called the Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ) to report that it was at the corner of René-Lévesque Boulevard and Holland Avenue.
The moose, whose size suggests it might not be an adult specimen, was heading west. He was then seen around 5:50 a.m., near Myrand Avenue, before being last seen near Laval University around 6 a.m.
Everything suggests that the beast would have entered a surrounding wooded area since. Wildlife protection officers have been called in to take over this file.
“However, there was no indication that the animal was injured or that it represented a danger to the population,” said SPVQ spokesman David Poitras.
However, the latter warns citizens and motorists in the area to be vigilant when traveling.
