Is nice tree, Moose, no?

A drunk Swedish moose had to be cut free from an apple tree after an intoxicating evening foraging for fruit.
The silly moose suffered the fate of many an intoxicated human after a night of heavy drinking - and found himself in a very embarrassing predicament.
Police believe the inebriated elk got into a state after eating fermented apples, and got stuck while trying to reach fruit higher up the tree.
The binge-drinking beast somehow managed to wedge itself into the branches of the tree with all four legs off the ground.
Fire crews had to chop down the tree to help free the animal from the branches.
Once free, the drunken deer staggered off into nearby woods, presumabl to sleep off the effects of his big night out.
The moose was left physically unharmed by the incident but will probably have a cracking hangover to nurse, along with the embarrassing memory.
His friends'll have a field day over this one - 'remember the time Marvin got stuck in the tree? What an idiot.'
'Yeah, ok guys, whatever. That was ages ago, can you stop going on about it please?'
Maybe he won't be alone in his suffering though - drunken moose are said to be fairly common in Sweden, where they often eat fallen fruit that has fermented.

Aleces aleces: the largest member of the deer family, generally known as the moose in N.America, and the elk in Europe.
"Bill, I'm really sorry to hear that drunk moose fatally bit your sister. I hope he gets imprisoned for life in the freezer!"

A moose is the largest member of the deer family..............
He would want his own fermented apples in a white van of course.

He's going to have more than just problems with a hangover tomorrow.
"I'm never going to do THAT again.......and this time I mean it!"
LOL... I live in Wisconsin. A few years back there was a deer that had been hit and killed on a busy stretch of road outside the Wal-mart shopping strip. His body had been dragged over to the grass under a stop sign. The poor dead deer laid there for a couple days. The funny part was on the second or third day when someone put a beer in the deer’s “hand”. Animal Control finally came and picked up the carcass pretty quickly after that...
I really wish I had had a camera phone at the time. It was one of the funniest things I have seen...
