What is Elk "Emil" actually doing?

It has been more than two months since Moose "Emil" was first sighted in Lower Austria and in the last weeks of the summer of 2025, he quickly became a favorite and star. The prominent antler-bearer has now become native to the Bohemian Forest in the Czech Republic. On Facebook ("Emil the Moose"), news about him is still shared almost daily.

Photos and videos continue to delight the moose community. Most recently, it was reported that "Emil" was sighted near the municipality of Prášily in the Klatovy district. Comments include "Our Emil", "It's wonderful to know that our Emil is doing well" or "Emil, the globetrotter". Many "likes" under the news are almost a given.

Moose "Emil" in Austria for weeks

"Emil" roamed through Lower Austria for a month before crossing the Enns on September 19. In Upper Austria, the young bull was sedated three days later because he had come too close to the West Autobahn (A1) near Sattledt (Wels-Land district), then brought to the edge of the Bohemian Forest in the Rohrbach district and finally released into the wild near the Czech Šumava National Park, where there is a moose population.
