Moose Family Jumps For Joy When A Woman Saves Them From Alaskan Heatwave

ADVERTISEMENT

Baby moose frolicking on your lawn is an unusual sight, but Candice Helm of Eagle River, Alaska, recently had the pleasure. Heatwave temperatures had reached a soaring (for Alaska) 21.6 C (71 F) on Sunday when Helm spotted an Alaskan moose and her twin calves in distress. Her solution to helping the wild animals battling extreme weather conditions was simply genius.

“They just strolled around the house and looked really bothered by the weather conditions,” Helm told local news station KTUU-TV. “So we turned on the sprinklers, and they were happy.”

The funny animals played in the sprinkler while their mother watched on. Eventually, even she joined in! Check out this remarkable moment of human kindness below.

It's wonderful... I've never seen anything so "huge" frolic around like lambs before.

A simple act of kindness, but it made those three so happy, and now makes me happy too - lovely way to start the day!
