Troopers in Fairbanks were notified that a moose had fallen through the ice on the Chena River and couldn’t get out on Easter Sunday.
Troopers Jordan Chroniger, Jon Lindblom, and Derick Norris responded with Wildlife Trooper McDowell.
With the assistance of local neighbors, Troopers were successful in hauling the moose out of the water and relocating it to the riverbank.
Although tired and cold, the moose was able to stand on its own and appeared to be thankful for the assistance.
“Troopers wished the moose a Happy Easter and warned her of the dangers of thawing river ice,” the Troopers reported on social media.
