The “certain death” mouse came to the aid of scouts Maurice Valerie and Pat Greba, whose friend had warned them of the wild animal’s muddy condition.
The two men were told that a mouse was stuck in the mud in the woods near the town of Timmons in Ontario, northeastern Canada, where they live.
Mousse’s head was the only part of it that remained above the surface of the muddy hole.
The men initially tried to contact the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Forestry, but after an hour of trying without reply, they decided that they should try to save the moose.
When Greban Valier got to the point where the mouse was stuck, they saw that the mouse was desperately struggling to free itself.
“He was buried up to his head; he was fighting, he was fighting, he was fighting just to keep his head out of the mud,” Valerie told CBC News.
The males realized that they could free the mice using a few strong straps Greba Argo ATV to pull the animal out.
Luckily, the mouse had horns on which they tied their shackles, otherwise the mouse would not be able to get rid of it.
Fortunately, their solution worked, and they successfully pulled Moz out of his muddy prison. Moz got up quickly and unscrewed it, one of the straps was still attached to one of its horns.
Moose are very large animals, the adults of which are 5 to 7 feet (1.5-2 meters) high from the hoof to the shoulder. When standing, they can be up to 10 feet tall. Men weigh an average of 790 to 1330 pounds (360-600 kilograms).
Because of their size, approaching can be dangerous. But that did not stop Greba Valerie, who said she had done what many Timmins would do.
“We did not think it was such a big deal, as everyone in Timmins would probably come out and help,” Valier told a new Canadian broadcast. “We all love our pets here.”
Their friend Bill Desloges posted pictures of the animal rescue on Facebook, where it has been shared thousands of times.
Dezloges praised what they had done, writing: “Thanks to my two spy friends, this mouse is back in freedom.
They worked hard to help save this moz from certain death…
