"She still had the umbilical cord and was still wet when I found her," Stephan Michel Desgroseillers, the hero of the story, can be heard telling a small crowd in a video posted by a local radio station, Q92 Rocks. The moose was very clearly a newborn whose mother had disappeared. The CBC reports the mother moose was hit by a truck in a nearby residential neighborhood.
Desgroseillers told CTV News he tried to direct the baby calf back into the wilderness, but "the little calf kept wandering back onto the road and into traffic," he said. After some confusion while trying to contact animal rescue centers, the police told Desgroseillers he had to take the baby moose home. "The OPP [Ontario Provincial Police] basically told me, 'You know what, Steph? You have a pet until someone can take her in,'" Desgroseillers said.
