Southside residents in Swift Current may have noticed a loiterer around Hayes Drive last night.

Just before 11 p.m., a large moose was spotted trespassing several properties in the area, romping across front lawns.

The large herbivore may have been a little lost or simply seeking shade and water during the current heat wave -- whatever the reason for its visit to the city, was seemingly harmless.
