Police and firefighters have rescued a moose that was trapped in a swimming pool in New Hampshire.
A police video shows rescuers removing a pool covering after arriving at the house in Bedford at about 8.45am on Thursday to reveal the adult moose standing in the water.
After the cover was removed, the moose got out of the shallow end of the pool and headed to a wooded area next to the house.
