#Curiosity Seen recently not by me but by many people in this area (Vienna and surroundings) This is Emil the moose. In German, moose = elch which explains why he’s been christened Emil. Emil Elch works well in German.

Anyways, moose are not common in these parts. They’re found in Northern Europe. This guy apparently has been going walkabout: he’s from Poland and has wound his way across Poland through the Czech Republic, into Austria. He’s friendly and seems unconcerned about his celebrity. He even swam across the Danube which is crazy. I didn’t realize moose are such strong swimmers. They are. Also, they are solitary creatures.

Here’s to Emil, all his moose compadres and their swimming superpowers.
