Moose on the loose in St. John's backyard sedated and moved
The backyard of an older home in one of St. John's historic neighbourhoods looked like a wildlife preserve Friday after two young moose wandered onto the property.
The animals were spotted in a fenced yard on King's Bridge Road and provincial conservation officers were on the scene around 8 a.m.

The Department of Fisheries and Land Resources told CBC they were taken to a wooded area outside the city.
