Texas: Armadillo in the garden... Sweden: uh...O.K.

Post by Texas Dan Mosby »

I give you...MOOSE in the apple tree.

[Note the look of embarrassment captured in the photo]

Apparently this cow moose (methinks it's a cow...not quite up on my moose I.d.) decided to help herself to some tasty apples around, and growing on, a tree in the back yard of a vacationing resident in southern Sweden. Turns out the apples were a bit...off. Fermented, actually. Moose just don't know WHEN to say WHEN, so this big ol' gal ate another and another and another, and the next thing she knew, she was Gods own drunk (Jimmy Buffet reference) and a fearless moose. And stuck. IN the tree.

A neighbor heard what he suspected to be a commotion, and upon further investigation, his suspicion was confirmed and he successfully identified the source of the commotion, which of course, was said moose whoopin', thrashin', and hollerin' in the tree.

A call to some local firemen, a few saws, and some precision cutting, successfully freed the moose, who promptly staggered off in search of some alka seltzers. Sounds of raucous moose laughter could later be heard in the distance, which is believed to have originated from the cows' friends after they were reunited after the event.

This is not unheard of. When I was a kid, we had a peach tree in our back yard. Most of the fruit wound up on the ground. We discovered our Boston Terrier would -- um, marinate :mrgreen: -- the dropped fruit, then let it ferment in the sun for a few days. Turns out she was making a canine version of Peach Brandy!

i sincerely hope this moose was not concealed carrying at the time of this incident. eating fermented apples and carrying a weapon is both irresponsible and careless, i also hope the officers present at least cited her for PI.
