2 more moose moved outside of Edmonton: Alberta Fish and Wildlife

Three moose have been removed from Edmonton city limits by wildlife officers in June.

Alberta Fish and Wildlife moved more moose off Edmonton city streets this week.

Wildlife officers, with help from Edmonton police, safely relocated two moose on Monday.

The first moose was found and tranquilized near the Armstrong Industrial area and set free at 10 a.m. outside the city.

The second moose was found in south Edmonton, where it was tranquilized in a RONA parking lot and relocated by 4 p.m. that day.

According to a social media post, Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement said both animals were yearling cows that were “likely recently separated from their mothers.”

They are the second and third moose to be moved in one week in Edmonton, which officials said is “unusually high.”
