Two juvenile moose were spotted in Edmonton's Sherbrooke neighbourhood on June 15, 2026. The sighting was captured on video by resident Yesra Seifeddine, who shared the footage with local media. The moose appeared to be wandering through residential areas, drawing attention from neighbors and passersby.
Wildlife in Urban Areas
Moose sightings in Edmonton are not uncommon, as the city's river valley and green spaces provide habitat for various wildlife. However, juvenile moose venturing into densely populated neighborhoods can pose risks to both the animals and residents. Officials from Alberta Fish and Wildlife are monitoring the situation and urge the public to keep a safe distance and avoid approaching the moose.
Residents are advised to secure garbage bins and avoid leaving pet food outside, as these can attract wildlife. If the moose are deemed a threat or become stranded, wildlife officers may intervene to relocate them to a safer area.
The sighting comes as Edmonton continues to expand, leading to more frequent human-wildlife encounters. Conservationists emphasize the importance of coexistence and respecting wildlife boundaries.
