OTTAWA — A moose spent several hours swimming and soaking in a homeowner's pool, before hopping out, jumping a fence and running into a forest.
Paul Koch awoke Friday and was surprised to find the large animal in his pool, CTV News reported.
“Fortunately, she just climbed out by herself, raced across the yard and jumped a fence — it’s about five-and-a-half feet — into the neighbor’s yard. Fortunately, she missed their swimming pool and just kept going," Koch told the Ottawa Citizen. “It certainly made my morning."
By 10:30 a.m. the moose had gotten out of the pool and headed toward a wooded area.
