Moose rescued after being found trapped in Colorado basement

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (TND) — A family in Colorado had quite the unexpected houseguest!

A moose grazing nearby apparently fell down a snow-covered window well into a house's basement, where it became trapped, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) says in a news release.

CPW officers were called to the residence on Jan. 10 and attempted to create exits for the animal, but they could not get the moose to climb a set of stairs and leave.

A photo shared by CPW shows the moose standing patiently next to a ping pong table in the finished basement.
