[Watch] Canadian Police Officers Remove Moose That Crashed Through School Window

School children and parents in Saskatoon, Canada received a surprise visit to their classroom on Thursday morning when a moose burst through their window.

In the early morning hours, a moose was spotted wandering around the neighborhood near Sylvia Fedoruk School in Saskatoon before plunging through the window of a classroom.

The school was finishing an early morning program for young children when the sudden disruption took place. Teachers quickly evacuated the children after the moose made its entrance and took them to safety. Before exiting, she was able to snap a picture of the dazed animal as it lay down on the classroom floor.

Shane Skjerven, the Director of Education at Saskatoon Public Schools, thanked the staff for their swift response to the incident.

"To the staff at @SylviaFedoruk School and the staff in the before and after school program, thank you. Simply thank you for how you responded today," Skjerven wrote on Twitter after the incident.

Canadian conservation officers and Saskatoon police officers soon showed up at the school and were captured on video surveying the damage. Officers were later caught on film pulling the tranquilized animal out of the classroom on a tarp and on to a pick-up truck outside.

Officials later posted a picture of the moose after it was removed from the school. They said it was not hurt and that it safely returned to the wild.

Moose are common across Canada despite some provinces, including Saskatchewan, reporting that their population has declined in recent years. An adult moose can weigh close to 900 pounds when fully grown and they can be considered aggressive if they feel stressed or threatened by humans.

According to wildlife information from the neighboring U.S. state of Alaska, moose should be provided a wide berth and should not be approached recklessly.
