The moose was found and tranquilized on June 3, Alberta Fish and Wildlife announced on Friday.

The cow was in good health and was relocated to a natural area northeast of Edmonton.

Officials issued a warning about her and a calf on May 27 and closed a trail area in Forest Heights.

Between then and the cow being tranquilized, the moose attacked two people and her calf was hit and killed by a vehicle.

The people who were attacked sustained non-life threatening injuries, officials said.
