Moose caught watching Olympic bobsleigh in most Canadian moment ever (PHOTO)
It’s safe to say that the Olympics in PyeongChang are capturing the attention of Canadians across the country. And, this being Canada, our nation’s viewers include what else – a “friendly, neighbourhood moose” in Calgary.
In a tweet on Monday, Matt Duncombe shared a picture of some unexpected company that joined him to watch the Canadians in the bobsleigh competition.
“#CBCOlympics, Your coverage is attracting a diverse audience,” Ducombe wrote.
He then ended the tweet with the hashtag #MooseareCanadiantoo.
According to Duncombe, the porch-front visitor is a “friendly neighborhood moose, here in Calgary. Little fella was just looking for a bobsleigh update.”

Duncombe’s tweet, which has already been re-tweeted thousands of times, also prompted more than a few entertaining responses, including this beauty from Team Canada.

It wouldn’t truly be #Canadian if we didn’t have a moose involved in the #olympics

Us moose know what’s up no matter what country we’re in.

The moose got his money’s worth out of the bobsleigh viewing visit, as Canada’s two-man bobsleigh team of Justin Kripps and Alex Kopacz picked up another gold medal for Canada’s third-ever Olympic medal in the event.
