An inebriated moose trying to get more fermenting apples apparently lost its balance and ended up stuck in an apple tree in Sweden, The Local website reported.

After returning home from work Tuesday evening, Per Johansson of Saro heard bellowing from his neighbor’s yard, The Local reported.

“I thought at first that someone was having a laugh. Then I went over to take a look and spotted a moose stuck in an apple tree with only one leg left on the ground,” Johansson told The Local.

Johansson called the police, he told The Local, but while waiting for a response, he and neighbors began to saw off limbs to try to help the entangled, thrashing moose.

Responding firefighters managed to bend the tree down far enough for the animal to slide off the branches, The Local reported.

Drunken moose are common in Sweden in autumn, when apples are abundant on the ground and in trees in homeowners’ yards, according to The Local.

Johansson surmised the moose had been indulging for quite a while.

“My neighbor recognized it as the animal that almost ran into her car earlier in the day,” Johansson told The Local. “She was pretty sure the moose was already under the influence."

The freed animal lay on the ground seemingly unconscious, The Local reported, before finally staggering to its hooves and eventually wandering off.

“We often see moose stuffing their faces with apples around here,” Johansson told The Local. “But this is the first time we found one perched in a tree.”

I know they meant limbs of the tree but...they mighta wanted to clarify.

Moose injure more people in Alaska each year that black and grizzly bear combined. Cerebus would not want to mess with a drunk moose.

Well if you were drunk off fermented fruit and stuck in a tree with only one leg touching the ground you might look a bit "off", too.

Definitely well-balanced. But lets get a few dozen fermented prickly pears in your goat belly and see how you look as a tree topper afterwards.

Completely unrelated to the XxAxX and Cerebus comedy routine; why in the world are those goats up in that tree? There must be a reason... like better leaves... or something...

okay turns out they are moroccon, argan tree climbing goats. food is scarce, so they must go get it from the tree tops. alas, the argan tree is rpaidly being deforested. people actually collect the goat dung, press it into oil and use it in cooking and cosmetics

And they speak cat. Listen at :50, you can hear it. Those are some talented tree climbin' cat speakin' goats right there.
