A team of forest rangers in New York state have rescued a moose who became trapped in an icy lake. New York conservation officials say a passerby reported seeing the moose fall through into the lake in a forested area near the Vermont border,

The bull moose had fallen into a lake in the Adirondacks and been in the frigid waters for about two hours before rescuers arrived and used a chain saw to free it.

People are warned of the dangers of falling through ice on a frozen lake, but did you know animals can fall victim to falling through ice too? Environmental Conservation Police Officers (ECO) and DEC civilian staff from Indian Lake rescued a moose from Lake Abanakee on Thursday,
