Moose attacks toddler
Moose attacks toddler
GRAND LAKE, Colo. (AP) - Authorities say a run-in between a
moose and a toddler in north-central Colorado appears to have been
a freak accident.
The moose ran into the two-and-half-year-old as he played on the
beach of Shadow Mountain Reservoir near Grand Lake with his brother
Thursday. His family said Friday he's been released from the
hospital and is doing well.
The moose kept running after hitting the unidentified boy, and
it wasn't clear at first whether the moose targeted him for some
reason.
Grand County authorities now believe it's likely the moose
didn't see him and was just passing through the area. The animals
have poor eyesight.
The boy's family agrees. They think the moose was likely spooked
by something else and was fleeing when it ran into him.
