Drunk moose gets stuck in tree

A man in Sweden has rescued an apparently drunk moose that got stuck in his neighbour’s garden tree on a rainy night.

Per Johansson of Saro made the bizarre discovery when he returned home from work and heard deep, moaning sounds.

"It was raining really bad. In the wind I heard something screaming with a very dark voice," Johansson told CNN. "At first I wondered if it was the crazy neighbours, but then I heard it again and went and checked. I saw something really big up in a tree in my neighbours' yard and it was a moose,” he said.

It appeared the moose had become drunk on fermented apples and fallen into the tree.

Johansson alerted the local fire, police and rescue department who dislodged moose by sawing off tree branches.

However, the moose did not leave after the rescue and instead wandered into Johansson’s garden where it stayed for few days.

"When I went out for the newspaper it was still laying there on the ground, sleeping. By the time I left for work it was walking around the neighbor's yard on very shaky legs." ohansson said.

Johansson said the moose was either sick, drunk or "half-stupid."

Other neighbours in the Goteburg suburb Saro said they had seen the animal lurking around for a few days.
