Lost baby moose gets ride in RCMP cruiser. (cbc.ca)
The Gander SPCA has had many unusual guests over the years — crows, hawks, and even a fox.

But the latest guest may be the most unusual — a very young moose.

She doesn't have a name, but they're thinking about calling her Apple because she was found just east of Appleton.

Bonnie Harris, the manager of the Gander SPCA, just happened to be on the Trans-Canada Highway when she saw a crowd gathered.

“The moose was crying out for its mom, but no sign of her,” Harris said.

The moose is only about three or four weeks old, and was pretty stressed when she was put in the back of an RCMP cruiser.

But she later calmed down, after four litres of milk.

Soon the moose will be moved again — this time to the Salmonier Nature Park.

Derek Burney, former Canadian ambassador to the United States and chief of staff to Brian Mulroney when he was prime minister, said when he heard of the project he was amused and inspired.

"When you conjure it up, you can only smile at the imagery," he said, chuckling.
