Rare Visitor: Moose Strolls Through Lower Austria

The animal was spotted on Tuesday, among other places, at a business park in Mistelbach, said a police spokesperson upon request. The moose named Emil is likely from Poland and has wandered through the Czech Republic to Lower Austria, as reported by several media outlets.

Moose Spotted in the Weinviertel

It is "extremely rare" for a moose to be sighted in Lower Austria, said the district hunting master of Mistelbach, Christian Oberenzer, to the APA. Previously, the moose was reportedly seen in Herrnbaumgarten, Poysdorf, and Großkrut. Photos and videos of the animal were posted on social media.

Moose belong to the deer family and usually live as solitary animals. Adult moose can grow to be more than two meters tall. Male specimens can reach a weight of more than 500 kilos.
