A Val Caron resident managed to get video this morning of the moose couple that's been hanging around in the stretch of muskeg between Fourth and Fifth streets.

The resident, who asked not to be named, said he sees the animals just about every morning, as they graze in the area near the highway. He said he's never seen them wander out onto the road — they simply stay in the swampy area that boarders MR 80.

Drivers were warned by Greater Sudbury Police Service this morning to be cautious in the area as the moose had wandered on or near the shoulder of the road.
