WARM SUMMER + EARLY SNOWFALL = DRUNKEN MOOSE


If you happen to find yourself in southern Norway anytime soon, beware of drunken moose.


Oslo’s Aftenposten reports, “A warm summer has led to an unusual bounty from the region’s fruit trees. The sudden and early snowfall has left some fruit under snowy cover, while still more remains on the branch. This fruit is fermenting, and also a readily available and tempting source of food for the region’s moose.”


Judging from the concern of local officials, the typical moose is a mean drunk.
