Mooses International

There’s a moose wandering around Somers, NY.

“Wendy Rosenbach, a spokeswoman with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, said state wildlife experts have been tracking the female moose, also called a cow, and are confident that she’s the same one that was wandering around Mahopac last year.

‘She wintered in Mahopac and now she’s moved to Somers,’ Rosenbach said yesterday. ‘Most likely, she’s trying to look for some love. It’s not unusual for moose to sometimes hang out with horse and other livestock. If it’s a male moose, it could be a problem if it tries to mate outside its species, but we don’t have that worry with a female.’

Rosenbach’s advice to residents who see the moose? ‘Enjoy it. It’s not often you see moose in Westchester so enjoy it. It’s a rather rare sighting. Just be careful if you’re driving and you see it on the road,’ she said. ‘We’ve been monitoring her movements and she’s appears to be doing well. Hopefully she’ll find a mate and they’ll go live happily ever after.’”
