I nominate the drunk Swedish moose stuck in a tree...
…in case you were wondering what’s going on here.
When the fire department gets a call from someone complaining that an animal is stuck in a tree and can’t get down, I imagine they first assume that the animal in question is a cat.
That’s what cats do for fun. They seek out fat, juicy squirrels, preferably with an extra chestnut or two in their cheeks (I’d imagine) and then try to eat them. Because squirrels are great tree-climbers, they often lead the cat up the tallest tree in the neighborhood and then off onto a shaky limb. If the squirrel is smart it then ditches the feisty cat by jumping to another limb, leaving the cat swaying in the afternoon breeze.
Dinnertime rolls around, cat doesn’t come home, family gets worried, fire department gets called.
The animal that gets caught in trees with the second-most frequency (I presume) is little boys.
I would imagine that way, way at the bottom of the list—probably lower than parrots, mice, and baby bears—is moose. Even lower is drunk moose.
But, ladies and gentlemen, that is what we have here. A drunk moose caught in a tree.
After hearing some curious noises in his back yard a man in Gothenburg, Sweden went outside and found this giant fella splayed out awkwardly in the branches of his backyard apple tree. It’s hard to imagine how exactly he wound up in that position, but we’re told it has something to do with the number of fermented apples he ate.
My guess is the tree started to take the shape of a lithe young female elk, who (for once!) seemed open to his advances.
