"She seemed satisfied it'd serve well in the event of a wildfire," the post said.
After standing around for a few minutes in the workshop, the moose walks past the truck, and the video operator quickly gets in the truck and shuts the door to get out of her way as she walks toward the open shop door.

"She took her calves back to their regular habitat without providing feedback," the department said.
