Drunken moose alert in Norway
Experts are warning that unusual weather has led to groups of drunken moose wandering around the Norwegian forests.
Many Norwegian moose are becoming intoxicated after eating large numbers of fermenting fruit, which are plentiful after the country's exceptionally warm summer.
According to the Aftenposten newspaper they could pose a threat to humans.
District vet Paul Stamberg says it's the first time he's heard of moose getting drunk.
He assumes they behave in the same way as drunk humans, some become harmless while others are the total opposite.
Martin Kolberg, head of the local animal committee in Telemark, warns people to beware of drunken moose.
He said: "Be careful when you approach moose that have been munching apples for days. Their behaviour can alter and they can become frighteningly aggressive.
"Clap and see how it reacts. If it doesn't retreat but instead comes even closer, by all means stay vigilant. It can be intoxicated and attack."
"Avoid intoxicated moose."
This has always been my policy!
I don't need any lutefisk-gnawing Norwegian to tell me that!
Drunken bears, OTOH, are harmless.
;^)
Damn right. Now, which one of you lives in Norway?
BEEBER to the SAF list!
SAF is the Smart A$$ed Freeper list, dedicated to levity. Please email me to be on or off.
Clap, and if it kills you, stay vigilant.
I can hardly wait for the global warming crowd to get a hold of this. "It's all Bushes fault and if he signed the Kyoto accord we wouldn't be up to our ankles in Moose yark!"
I'm always aware of drunken moose. The lodge is just down the street.
Regarding your tagline, is that pronounced BEEB-oh-mee-tur or bee-BOM-ih-tur?
Yer specialty!!!
Being the head of the committee of local animals, he should know when one is drunk and when we should be on the look out for them! How can I join this committee...hanging around with drunken animals....should be fun!
Oh...and wasn't it a drunken moose that started all the biting of sisters to begin with?
Well played!
And some showers. And cheese.
FYI..this was posted several times about two months ago..very funny threads..all the Moose threads are funny..my fav is the one about the Moose hung up in the power lines..just type "Moose" into search
