Police in northern New Brunswick say a moose spotted on the ice of the Nepisiquit River is not in danger, and people should not try to save it.
RCMP in Bathurst issued a notice on Twitter Saturday, telling people to stay off the ice.
Cpl. John Greer says he has received a number of calls about the moose, including one that said someone was trying to chase the huge animal off the ice.
