How Do You Get a Near-Drowned Moose Out Of a Frozen Lake? (WATCH)
This moose wasn't going to last much longer hanging onto the ice if Washington officials hadn't shown up with a sledgehammer.
He set out on his own in 2009 when he took the 8,000-mile flight from Kenya to Maryland as a foreign exchange student. He had no running experience before coming to the US, but now owns the fastest 1,600 time in the state and has secured a college scholarship. But his long goal is to return to his village that has no electricity or running water and teach them to read.

The long goal is a difficult one. He wants to return home to a village that has no electricity or running water and ask a mostly illiterate population focused mainly on herding sheep and cattle to learn how to read.
