No ... Rocky is the one who flies....

Police in Clifton, Maine say a 500 pound moose fell 18 feet to its death when it apparently leaped a guardrail on an Interstate 95 overpass and landed on the roadway below.

Officials learned of the incident when a motorist called the town office and told the clerk that "a moose just fell out of the sky." The clerk said the motorist, who was under the bridge when he spotted the falling moose, was "pretty excited about it."

Police said the yearling bull probably panicked because of the noise and traffic along I-95 and began running. The moose just picked the wrong spot to jump the guardrail, falling onto a road instead of landing in a field.

A passerby with a wrecker hauled away the carcass.
