Alaska man helps trapped and shrieking baby moose -- while avoiding its mama [View all]

When Spencer Warren pulled up at work on Friday morning, he heard a strange, high-pitched creaking sound from the nearby lake.

"I'm used to the animals on the lake, and I said, 'That's an odd sounding bird,'" said Warren, a pilot-in-training at Destination Alaska Adventure Co, a charter tourism company near Beluga Lake in Homer, Alaska. "But to my surprise, it wasn't."

When he followed the shrieks, he found a frightened baby moose, trapped in the lake between the dock and one of the company's floatplanes.

"The first thing that popped into my head was, 'Alright, where's mama?" he said. "I turned to my right, and there she was, coming right at me."
