Feb. 20 (UPI) -- A moose stared into a couple's living room as they watched the 2018 Winter Games Monday in Canada.
He must have been a bobsled fan, as the sport was flashing on a nearby flatscreen at the time. The moose stood on the back deck and peered through a glass sliding door.
"#CBCOlympics Your coverage is attracting a diverse audience," said Matt Duncombe, who tweeted the photo of the creature staring into his house. "#MooseareCanadianstoo."
Duncombe tweeted that the animal is a "friendly neighborhood moose" in Calgary.

"Little fella was just looking for a bobsleigh update," he added.
His wife, Lynda Duncombe, confirmed that the moose was indeed a fan of Olympic bobsledding.
The moose photo started a trend of other Winter Games fans posting photos of their pets watching the events unfold in Pyeongchang, South Korea. One Twitter user posted a photo of his curling-loving cat.
Duncombe's moose photo quickly went viral and had more than 10,000 Twitter interactions as of Tuesday afternoon. The photo appeared to be showing France's Romain Henrich and Austria's Markus Treichl competing.
Canadian duo Alexander Kopacz and Justin Kripps and Germany's Thorsten Margis and Francesco Friedrich split the gold medal Monday in the final of the men's 2-man competition in the bobsled event. Latvia's Oskars Melbardis and Janis Strenga won the bronze medal.
