A massive moose was island hopping and taking a dip in Wascana Lake on Monday. Facebook users began posting pictures of the moose swimming near Spruce Island, on the southwest side of the lake, around 10 a.m. Monday morning. Leko advises not approaching the animal, or “trying to take a selfie with the moose,” as they can be easily agitated. Conservation officers and Wascana Centre Authority (WCA) staff continued to monitor the moose situation in Wascana Park on Monday afternoon. Passersby stopped to watch the moose during its swim and some canoeists even got a close-up view as it approached the shore of Spruce Island.
