Drunk Swedish elk found in apple tree near Gothenburg

[Gerald]

A homeowner in southern Sweden got a shock when he found a drunken elk stuck in his neighbour's apple tree.

The moose 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 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.

The next day she took herself off into the woods with her hangover.

Drunken elk are not an uncommon sight in Sweden during autumn, when there are plenty of apples about.

No, but I woke up in weird places back in the days.
Even up a tree a few times.
:03:

I once woke up in a box car not remembering how I got there.
I'm pretty sure that was when I gave up whiskey.

That's really only a problem if said boxcar is no longer in the same time zone.

And I'm not sure which is more disturbing.... the moose or the boat on the grass..... not sure why I have to ask that, as the moose in the tree is the far weirder thing... but still.....

I actually thought it was a picture of the Vermont floods.....

Just add a little snow and some fairy lights and you've a nice festive picture :)
