Residents of Greater Milwaukee reported several sightings of a lion roaming the area during the summer of 2015. A police search for the big cat was unproductive.
Now there’s a moose on the loose, and that has been substantiated.
Greg Monroe was given the nickname “Moose” when one of his classmates at Helen Cox High School of Harvey, La., wrote it on a chalkboard, and it was later included on a poster of Monroe that he brought with him to Georgetown University.
Thanks to former Hoyas teammate DaJuan Summers, the moniker followed Monroe into the NBA when the two were reunited as members of the Detroit Pistons.
