NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: It wasn't a bear on the loose in Spokane, Washington. It was a moose -- a moose. Susanna Baylon of CNN affiliate KXLY tells us apparently he or she just wanted to beat the heat.</s>SUSANNA BAYLON, KXLY REPORTER: This 1,500-pound bull moose decided he'd had enough of the hot weather, so he found his way into Randi Longmeier's backyard.</s>RANDI LONGMEIER, HOMEOWNER: I thought that I was hallucinating for a minute. I just couldn't believe it, and I called my kids to come and see, and there he was, standing there, and eventually he was swimming in the deep end.</s>BAYLON: You could see right here where the bull moose decides to go for the swim.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, my goodness.</s>BAYLON: It only takes about two strokes for him to reach the edge of the pool.</s>LONGMEIER: A lot of neighbors have sighted moose, but we've never seen one, so I was really shocked to see him in our pool.</s>BAYLON: Longmeiers lived here 22 years, so at first having uninvited guest was exciting. But this was a wild animal, who could cause trouble.</s>LONGMEIER: Yes, we were kind of nervous because we didn't know how he would get out and would he break through the fence around the pool or damage the umbrellas and the lawn furniture and stuff.</s>BAYLON: The bull moose surprised everyone, though. He carefully climbed out of the pool, over the lawn furniture, and hopped the fence without any problems.</s>LONGMEIER: It was no harm done. See you later, buddy.</s>ALLEN: He did not go off of the diving board, apparently.</s>JOIE CHEN, CNN ANCHOR: Did he have a towel? They should have given him a towel to drive off.
