Drunk Moose

Sweet N Little's Avatar

A homeowner in southern Sweden found a drunken moose stuck in his neighbour’s apple tree.

The animal was apparently on the hunt for fermenting apples when she lost her balance and became trapped in the tree.

Per Johansson, from Saro near Gothenburg, found the moose (elk) making a roaring noise in the garden next door.

He called the emergency services, who helped him free the boozed-up beast by sawing off branches. She spent the night recovering in the garden.

It is not unusual to see elk, or moose as they are known in North America, drunk in Sweden during autumn, when there are plenty of apples about.

Mr Johansson said the elk appeared to be sick, drunk, or “half-stupid”.
