A baby moose in northern Ontario is on the mend following a car crash that took the life of its mother and sibling.
The young calf was found by White River resident just outside of the town, where a community effort helped it regain strength.
After the death of its mother, residents used baby formula and even human breast milk to nurse it back to health.
The mother of the calf was struck by a vehicle outside town while still pregnant with this moose and another calf that didn't make it.
“It should have been dead,” said Darryl Godin, who found the moose calf.
“If you look at the pickup truck that hit it, all three should have been dead.”
An early morning phone call from his wife led Godin to the site, where he knew he had to take action.
