7 July – Loose moose needed

sv.wikipedia.org

All the ”moose crossing” signs posted on Swedish roads, warning drivers regarding the prevalence of moose in the area, have become a little less relevant. SvD writes that the Swedish moose, and for that matter, the Swedish forest hare, could soon land on the list of threatened wildlife. For the rabbit, warmer winters are to blame but for the moose it’s less clear (wolves have also been upgraded to strongly threatened themselves). Not to worry though, moose disappearance isn’t on the books in any future; the Swedish identity is too tied up in it. What would all the souvenir shops do?!
