Last month, Koch went to make breakfast and found a(n) 1 guest using his pool. A large moose(驼鹿) was swimming in the deep end, 2 in the solar cover(太阳能覆盖膜).
“I looked out in the backyard and there was the moose absolutely panicked and 3 ,” Koch told The Dodo.“She stepped on the solar cover and put her 4 through it and she was 5 trying to get free.”
Koch noticed some wildlife around his home in Ottawa, 6 he had never seen an animal 7 impressive before. He rushed outside and pulled the solar cover off the 8 moose, who continued paddling 9 the pool, proving to be a surprisingly skilled swimmer.
The wild moose seemed to be having trouble finding her way out of the pool, so Koch called the police and wildlife services to see if they could 10 a hand.“She looked so pitifully sad out there that my wife said, ‘I want to give her a 11 .’”
Workers from wildlife services intended that they would get her to a safer spot, but they couldn’t 12 it until she was out of the water.“The best thing that happened was that after 3.5 hours she climbed out of the shallow end and 13 the fence,” Koch said.
The moose 14 unscratched, but the same can’t be said for Koch’s pool, which now has two hoof-sized holes in the 15 .
