Baby moose rescued in wild

The Lugdon family from Maine said on Facebook they briefly took care of a baby moose after finding it in the wild on June 9, 2018.

Lugdon wrote that the animal was picked up by a biologist a day later and transferred to the Maine Wildlife Park and it was estimated to be just six days old.
