Must-See Videos: Illegal moose ride lands men in hot water

VANCOUVER, CANADA (WTVD) -- A video of a man riding on the back of a moose in a lake in British Columbia has caught the attention of Canadian wildlife officers.

The video posted on YouTube shows men in a boat chase down the cow moose as it tried to swim across the lake.

As the boat approaches the animal, one of the men leaps on its back and takes a ride. He was thrown off after about 20 seconds.

The clearly terrified moose makes noises during its ordeal.

Investigators are working to identify the men involved who will likely face charges of harassing wildlife, which comes with a $1,000 fine.
