Overview
- Breckenridge Police said around 8 a.m. Thursday that a young moose became stuck in the bowl at the Breckenridge Recreation Center skate park.
- Officers reported the calf’s mother is nearby and anxious because she cannot reach her baby.
- Police asked people to give the pair space until Colorado Parks and Wildlife can safely handle the situation.
- Photos posted by police show the calf sitting in the middle of the skate bowl, and the public was told to avoid the area.
- The National Park Service’s “rule of thumb” for wildlife distance was cited, as recent Colorado reports have included an agitated bull elk in Lakewood and a suspected mountain lion incident in Erie.
