A small female moose got lost in Fredericton’s uptown Wednesday morning.
The animal, which appeared to be a juvenile, drew spectators out into the rain as it wandered through traffic circles and along sidewalks on Prospect Street.
Fredericton police followed the animal as it passed restaurants and grocery stores on the street.
