Per Johansson says he heard a roar from his vacationing
neighbor’s garden in southwestern Sweden late Tuesday and went to have a look.
There, he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely
drunk from eating fermented apples.
With the help of police and rescue services, the 45-year-old
Johansson later managed to set the moose free in part by sawing off tree
branches.
But the animal appeared confused and wandered into Johansson’s
garden, where she was still resting Thursday.
Other neighbors in the Goteborg suburb Saro had seen the
animal sneaking around the area for days. Johansson said the moose appeared to
be sick, drunk or “half-stupid.”
