Our officers responded near Cottonwood Creek Park in Colorado Springs today, where we immobilized and relocated a ~650lb bull moose. Can you spot the moose in the first photo? They are great at hide and seek. pic.twitter.com/94Lbhfy8Hu

The moose was hiding near Cottonwood Creek Park, which is located near the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Rangewood Drive in Colorado Springs.
With help from the Colorado Springs Fire Department, CPW says they cooled the moose with water and placed it in a trailer.
CPW says they gave the moose a wake-up drug and relocated it to a better habitat in their Southeast Region.
