A moose is loose in Moosachusetts

Watertown Police videoed the mooseling roaming Watertown before it crossed into Belmont, where Belmont Police picked up the chase:

And, yes, of course, the moose is tweeting.

I guess it's only available to people logged into Facebook. It shows a moose running through the streets. I'll see if I can download one and post, um, natively here.

We trot in solidarity with fellow indigenous wildlife in the epic struggle of liberation from the colonial oppression of our native lands!

I'll take "Things you'd never see in the Bronx" for $200, Alex.

What was the last major metropolis that hosted a moose on its streets other than Cicely, Alaska?

the powers that be didn't run past the citizens before doing! Were any community meetings held to see how people felt about Moose trampling around their neighborhoods?!?!
Sigh...politics as usual.....

I did walk out of my hotel one morning in downtown Anchorage, AK to see a moose walking right down the yellow line of a four lane road.

I'm sure a high-speed moose chase may not end well.

The Moose may be hiding in a boat in someone's backyard.

I see Watertown PD has clearly superior training and officer quality, at least in videoing. They turned their phone and used landscape perspective! Belmont PD, take notes!

Moose = landscape

Unless one was looking you in the eye - then you'd need portrait.

Mooses come walking over the hill
Mooses come walking, they rarely stand still
When mooses come walking they go where they will
When mooses come walking over the hill

Mooses look into your window at night
They look to the left and they look to the right
The mooses are smiling, they think it's a zoo
And that's why the mooses like looking at you

So, if you see mooses while lying in bed
It's best to just stay there pretending you're dead
The mooses will leave and you'll get the thrill
Of seeing the mooses go over the hill

actually perform that song was when he gave a free concert in the Fenway in 1979. Still one of the best concerts I've ever attended - thanks for the reminder.

Moose in Moosachusetts
The day the moose got loose in Moosachusetts
Everybody was amazed
How could a moose get loose in Moosachusetts
The strangest things happen these days

She gave them a thrill up on Beacon Hill
Whenshe jogged along the cobblestones
Thought she'd never survive Along Storrow Drive
Cuz she was so far from home such a long long way to roam
Chorus
Everybody stopped to stare out at Harvard Square
When she pulled up a seat at the juice bar
Could I please have a juice for this thirsty moose
She's been jogging cuz' she doesn't have a moose car

And they all had a ball back at Faneuil hall
When she stopped for a bite to eat
she gave em' a shock down at Plymouth Rock
They jumped right out of they're seat

And they didn't know what to say along Buzzards Bay
Cuz' they'd never seen such a sight.
A strange thing to see on old route number three
Is a moose heading south in daylight
Chorus
Everybody was agape down on the cape
When she jumped into a swimming pool
He finally turned around down in Provincetown
Where everyone thought she was cool
She was cool as a moose at high tide
Chorus
