WATCH: Colorado Moose Goes Viral for Stealing Pumpkin Off Porch
There have been quite a few unique and funny animal sightings in the past couple of months as we transition to winter in Colorado. This year there has been a 35 percent rise in bear sightings. Also, a 450-pound bear was removed from underneath a deck in Durango.
Another animal is going viral in Colorado, but this time it is not a bear. This hilarious video shows a moose doing something unique.
Pumpkins, A Moose, and a Viral Colorado Video
This is an interesting way to get rid of your Halloween pumpkin. Typically people put their carved pumpkins in their garbage bin and prepare for Thanksgiving. However, a woman in Frisco was shocked when she saw a moose jump over her fence.
In an interview with USA Today, the woman says that she noticed a moose jumping over her fence. She quickly pulled out her phone and started recording the interaction. She was shocked to see that after the moose jumped her fence, it walked onto her porch and started eating one of her Halloween pumpkins.
Check out the video of it below.
The woman says that the moose is a regular visitor.
Moose Love Pumpkins Apparently
We found videos all over the internet of various animals eating pumpkins. Here is another moose mowing down a pumpkin.
Pumpkins can be very nutritious for animals. After doing some research, I might give my dog some pumpkin because it is a great source of fiber.
Will I give her an old pumpkin? No. But this goes to show that the animals were not put in any danger from eating the pumpkins.
