A family in the US state of Idaho had quite a shock when they awoke to find a moose had fallen into their home.
The animal tumbled through an unlatched window into the basement of the property in the community of Hailey, in the state of Idaho.
According to the Idaho Mountain Express, the female moose spent about three hours in the house after the mishap early on Sunday morning.
Wildlife officials sedated the animal before releasing it unharmed.
Homeowner Julie Emerick told the Mountain Express: "She was absolutely the most polite, gracious beast that you could have in your house."
Blaine County Sheriff's deputies and Idaho Department of Fish and Game officers initially tried to shoo the moose upstairs.
But Fish and Game said on its Facebook page: "The moose was having none of it, charging the officers several times."
When that failed, a wildlife officer shot the moose with a tranquilliser dart.
Ms Emerick said eight officers carried the approximately 600lb (270kg) animal up the stairs.
"With a lot of grunting and groaning they got her up the stairs and out the door," she said.
Ms Emerick said the groggy beast came round and ran off about a quarter of an hour later.
The night-time intruder caused hardly any damage to the basement room, she added.

That was my sister’s house. He was after her cheese.
Any sign of a flying squirrel?
Moose are attracted to 60’s hippy posters like that red one. Most people know that. Tie-dye drives them completely batty, they should consider themselves lucky.
Hope those are not moose droppings all over that carpet, that would piss my wife something bad.
Is always moose and squirrel.
LOL. I haven’t seen or heard a spoonerism since I left Ala.

That’s ‘moose scat’ on the floor.
Not a common indoor cleaning problem.
Sorry, I can’t see the graphic.
“Ms Emerick said eight officers carried the approximately 600lb (270kg) animal up the stairs.” That has got to turn up on Youtube.
One morning I went down to the basement and shot a moose in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, we’ll never know.
How cheesy.
