Drunken Swedish moose drowns after fermented apple binge
STOCKHOLM (AFP) — A moose that became inebriated after binging on fermented fallen apples in northern Sweden drowned when it fell through the ice of a frozen inlet, Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet reported on Thursday.
"The moose appears to have eaten too many fermented apples and become confused out on the ice," Luleaa police spokesman Erik Kummu told local media.
Emergency services were scrambled but they were unable to save the four-legged apple thief.
For several days prior to the moose's demise, local residents had contacted police after seeing the animal munch its way through rotting fruit, Aftonbladet said.
Drunk moose are relatively common in Sweden in late autumn as the animals eat fallen apples which ferment slightly on the ground.

Yeah, I couldn't resist. If only cheese had been involved, it would have been the Ultimate FR Thread.

Apple stuffed moose. Darn, we could have had that for Thanksgiving. Maybe next year.

``The front yard was simply transformed into an outdoor toilet,'' he said. ``I'm a bit uncertain whether I should take the risk of letting the car stand alone and defenseless on the front yard from now on.''
Woh, an early Møøse thread from 2001. You must be a paleomøøsetroll to recall that one! ; )

Roof walking falls through for a juvenile moose who had been drinking Ale.
