No bull. There was a moose on the loose in Auburn on Sunday night.
Officers responded to the enclosed park of the Chapman House off Pleasant Street where a moose was out for a late stroll, according to the Auburn Police Department.
The area near the Chapman House, a women’s senior living center, is a developed and populated part of Auburn, making such a sighting unexpected.
The cow moose was spotted elsewhere across Auburn that night, including behind a Wendy’s around 9 p.m., before making its way to the Chapman House.
The moose eventually jumped a fence and headed for Minot Avenue while officers were contacting a game warden for assistance. It entered a nearby wooded area without injury.
