Another hot story from Manitoba - seems the moose do love Brandon!! (love to see video of the "escorting"!)
Moose spotted in Brandon, police herd it out of city
Winnipeg Free Press / 2 Oct 2014
BRANDON -- Brandon police successfully herded a loose moose out of the city, Friday morning. They tweeted out at about 8 a.m. that several officers were "wrangling" the moose around Rosser Avenue East and trying to escort it out of built-up residential areas. They asked that people be cautious in that area.
Just a few minutes later, they tweeted "Success!"
The moose had crossed the river just northeast of the 1600 block of Rosser Avenue east and was out of the city, police said, "with a full police escort!"
It's the second moose-sighting in Brandon this week. On Tuesday morning, residents of Marquis Crescent were startled as a young moose trotted through the green space behind their yard before wandering off.

Short video of the two orphaned polar bear cubs now at APZ
Orphaned polar bear cubs settling in at Winnipeg zoo
CBC News / 2 October 2014
A pair of orphaned polar bear cubs from northern Manitoba are getting to know their new home at Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo this week.
The 10-month-old male and female cubs were spotted by Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship staff travelling by helicopter along the Hudson Bay shore near York Factory, Man., on Sept. 24. Crews had waited 48 hours for the cubs' mother, but she did not appear, so the brother and sister were flown to Winnipeg over the weekend.
The zoo posted a YouTube video on Thursday of the wee bears checking out their new enclosure at its International Polar Bear Conservation Centre. The male cub weighed in at 50 kilograms, while the female was about 46 kilograms, Dr. Stephen Peterson, the zoo's head of conservation and research, said in the video.
"All new bears come into the facility and undergo [a] 30-day quarantine, and this allows them to get a bit more used to the keepers and the veterinary staff. We give them vaccines and monitor their health," Peterson said. "We're looking forward to them going into the transition process and eventually being introduced to the other bears that we have here in Journey to Churchill," he added.
