Moose successfully tranquilized in Saskatoon

It looks like the adventure is over for a moose that made its way into Saskatoon.

Saskatoon police say the animal was successfully tranquilized Monday around 10:15 a.m. by conservation officers around Prairie Avenue and Grant Street.

Police started received reports early Monday that a moose had been seen within city limits. It appears that the animal may have come up from the riverbank near Silverspring.

Witnesses helped police track the animal throughout Silverspring. When Forest Grove Saskatchewan Environment officers arrived, the moose was tranquilized, but it kept on going.

It was spotted later in the morning near the Zellers at 8th Street and Moss Avenue, where it became spooked when onlookers approached it and began taking pictures.

It ran over a parked car and may have injured its leg.

A pair of moose was spotted Sunday near the train tracks at College Drive and McKercher Drive. It is unclear whether there were two different tranquilized animals or whether it was the same animal seen twice.
