A moose is on the loose in Colorado Springs.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Southeast Region posted a video of a bull moose that was spotted roaming around the Country Club of Colorado around Highway 115 on Sunday, July 18.

The video shows the moose slowly walking through a part of the golf club. While the footage makes the moose seem very peaceful, the officials warned people to avoid approaching moose as they can be dangerous.

"A bull moose is roaming the golf course," CPWSE tweeted. "Moose are large & powerful. Do not approach! It's especially important to keep dogs away!"

Signs of aggression in moose include laid-back ears, licking of the snout, or raised hairs on the neck.

According to FOX21, moose sightings are a common occurrence in Colorado.

Back in June, there was another moose incident in Steamboat Springs. The moose ran onto the field of a softball game and stole home base before running back into the wild.
