Video shows baby moose trapped in Alaska lake saved from "sure demise" as its worried mom watches

An Alaska man and two police officers saved a baby moose from what police described as a "sure demise" after it fell into a lake and got stuck in a narrow space between a floatplane and a dock. The dramatic rescue was captured on video.

Spencer Warren, who works for the outdoor tourism company Destination Alaska Adventure Co., had arrived at work about 6:30 a.m. Friday to prepare a floatplane for the day's trip when he heard what he thought was an odd-sounding bird.

He quickly spotted the moose calf stuck between the floats of the plane and the dock at Beluga Lake in Homer, a Kenai Peninsula community about 220 miles south of Anchorage. The floats replace the wheels on a plane, allowing it to take off and land on water.
