New York conservation officials rescued a bull moose that fell through the ice on Lake Abanakee in the Adirondack Mountains. The team used chainsaws and other tools to create a channel for the moose to safely exit the water.
The team used chainsaws and other tools to create a channel for the bull moose from where it fell in, to where it was thick enough to support the animal's weight. A bull moose can weigh around 1,000 lbsA bull moose that fell through lake ice in the Adirondack Mountains was saved by New York conservation officials in a laborious cold-water rescue.
For this moose, the humans came to help. Moose can die from hypothermia, and they can't easily climb onto ice once they have fallen through into water. Ice rescues are dangerous because the rescuers can also fall through. The forest rangers used a chainsaw to cut away sections of ice connecting the area where the moose broke through to a thicker section of ice, while Higgins pushed the ice blocks underneath the channel, to get them out of the way.
