Biologists from New Hampshire's Fish and Game Department rescued a moose calf Thursday in Keene after its mother was struck by a motorist earlier in the day. The two were seen together on Wednesday around Keene, but then became separated.

In a video posted online by the Keene Sentinel, the adult moose can be seen running past an AutoZone on Key Road. Another video shows the calf walking around an apartment parking lot on Ivy Drive.

Keene police officers put the adult moose down after it was struck by a vehicle on Route 12.

The rescued calf is headed to a rehabilitation center near Conway where it will stay for several months until it can survive on its own.
