In Summit County, Colorado, Back in January of 2022, a Moose fell into a house through a window well.

Antlers and all, it found itself in a basement and broke a pool table there.

Frightened it went to the bathroom all over the carpet and scratched its antlers and hooves against the walls.

A team of rescuers tried to woo it up some stairs, but in the end they had to use a trank and make it nap. Then 10 people lifted it up the stairwell, but unfortunately, they had to saw off the antlers to get it out of the dwelling, but a moose at this age loses his antlers naturally anyway they reported.

The windowell was covered in snow and the moose was munching on some shrubs or plants when it fell in and broke into the house.

The poor thing’s antlers were left by the rescuers under the christmas tree for the owners of the abode as a gift from the harrowing experience.
