Heroic driver rescues stranded moose calf, reuniting it with mom

A fragile moose calf was rejoined with its mom thanks to the acts of a loving driver in Alaska. He interfered and rescued the day when he observed the grieving baby moose attempting to cross the road barrier while heading home. The other drivers snapped photos of the stunning spectacle!

Andrea Bock was driving near Clam Gulch in Alaska when transportation came to a standstill. She saw the situation and even took a picture with her iPhone.

It was quickly established that it was due to a mom moose and her baby. The tiny calf became trapped as the two attempted to cross the road. The weary calf was split from its mother when it was unable to pass the roadway guardrail.



“I assume the mom kept taking him back because it was the stretch where there were no vehicles,” the narrator says.

The poor creature had been trying to get through for approximately half an hour, and the situation was not looking great until one of the drivers decided to help.

Joe Tate and his mates were coming from a family vacation, and they weren’t sure what was causing the traffic jam at first, but they quickly figured it out.

They agreed to help, but they all knew they had to go carefully, as a disturbed moose, such as the mother moose, might be quite dangerous, especially if someone touched her little one.
