Loose Moose

A suburban Boston town has a new resident.

A moose wandered into a Wellesley neighborhood, causing quite a buzz with local residents and causing police to slow traffic.

The commotion began around 5:30 p.m. on June 29, when residents say the moose was seen trotting through the tree-lined streets. Police established a perimeter in the neighborhood hoping the moose would not travel onto a main road, but the effort was foiled when the animal crossed the busy thoroughfare.

Environmental officials think the moose was a young animal that got separated from his mother and was looking for its own territory. The animal is now hiding out in a heavily wooded area.
