Not on the carpet!
A mature female moose, aka a cow moose, fell through a well window into a family home in Hailey, Idaho on Sunday and refused to leave, leaving little presents in the form of moose poop all over the family's finished basement.

According to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, officers attempted to herd the moose up the basement stairs and out of the home, but she was having none of it and charged the officers "several times." Finally, another officer was called in at 3 a.m. and the animal was sedated and carried out of the front door with "all hands on deck."

The Department of Fish and Game say the animal, "woke up in the snow covered street, groggy and confused, but free."
