Canadian wildlife officers tranquilized a moose when she wandered too close to local businesses in Calgary Wednesday.

The 550-pound female was spotted near a tire store, and fish and wildlife officials were alerted.

After she got cornered in a wooded area, she was tranquilized in a nearby parking lot.

The moments before she collapsed to the ground were captured on video as the moose staggered around.

Wildlife officers say she was relaxed and in good shape, but they decided to subdue her because of the location.

The moose was loaded into a truck and moved to a more suitable spot in the foothills of the Rockies.
