MINOT (AP) — The Minot Police Department is warning residents about some new community members that have gained attention around town: a herd of moose.

The police department said the city has become home to a cow and her two young calves. The department said they have been working with the North Dakota Department of Game and Fish on the matter and urge residents to “let the moose be.”

Animal control officer Dick Schnell said the mother could become defensive if she feels her young are becoming threatened. He said the moose will eventually work their way out of town. If they don’t and become a hazard to the public, authorities will then take action.
