Randy Richards and his family decided to save the calf who got lost from it’s mother. Randy’s dogs chased the calf is his yard where the baby moose was seen and saved by its family. He still had the umbilical cord meaning that he was born a few hours/days before getting lost from mama moose.

The calf caused some commotion during the rainy night from Wednesday to Thursday, running around the yard and crying for its mother. But morning arrived and Mama Moose still was nowhere to be seen.

So Richards started making calls.

Nick Cassara, a fish and game technician Richards spoke to that morning, was making calls too. He said the Milwaukee County Zoo had applied to the state for two moose. The application wasn’t yet approved but the Alaska Zoo, where a lot of moose orphans end up, agreed to take care of the calf until it was.
