On January 16, 2025, a bull moose that fell through the ice on Lake Abanakee in the Adirondacks was rescued by New York State conservation officials. The operation, prompted by a passerby, involved forest rangers using ice rescue techniques to ensure their safety while aiding the moose. After roughly two hours, the moose was successfully guided to safety and managed to walk away into the woods, demonstrating the challenges faced by wildlife in a changing climate.
