It\u2019s a bit like the Swedish way of having a Jurassic Park, except the main attraction is walking around both inside and outside the fences.<\/p>\n<h3>Dangerous\u00a0moose<\/h3>\n<p>Crashing into a moose is life threatening. Their hight and weight can cause serious damage to cars and their passengers. It&#8217;s recommended to drive around a moose instead of trying to drive right through it &#8211; as recommended with a deer or wild pig.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The moose is the biggest land animal in Europe, alongside the polar bear<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Also, if you go for a walk in the wild and see a moose, keep some safety distance! Although they are usually a bit shy, they might attack you in order to protect their\u00a0little calves.<\/p>\n<h3>Lots of moose<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>There are about\u00a0300 000 moose in Sweden, until autumn<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since moose are very reproductive, Swedes organize a yearly <em>\u00e4lgjakt,<\/em>\u00a0moose hunt. About 50% of the \u00e4lg-population is then getting shot. And about 0,0015% of all Swedish hunters.<\/p>\n<h3>Drunk moose<\/h3>\n<p>Moose have almost the same desire for alcohol as Swedes. Since moose are not welcome in bars and nightclubs, their only option to get drunk is eating\u00a0fermented\u00a0apples. Regularly, <a href=\"https:\/\/sverigesradio.se\/sida\/artikel.aspx?programid=128&amp;artikel=4683427\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">news articles<\/a> report about some moose getting stuck with his\u00a0horns in some apple tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sweden is a large country.\u00a0When you drive longer distances on a Swedish\u00a0highway you will notice high fences along the road.

One semester turned into more than a decade. In 2011 he started the blog Hej Sweden in order to share his Swedish experiences and love for Sweden and the Swedes with others who are keen to learn more about this beautiful country.\u00a0 One result of his constant attempt to discover what it means to live in Sweden like a typical Swede, is the book How to be Swedish - A Quick Guide to Swedishness - In 55 Steps (here on Amazon, also available in German)\u00a0 For more about Matthias and Hej Sweden, have a look at the About page.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hejsweden\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@hejsweden"],"url":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Avoid-moose-in-Sweden-How-to-be-Swedish-2.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Avoid-moose-in-Sweden-How-to-be-Swedish-2.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Matthias Kamann","author_link":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/author\/matthias-admin\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hejsweden.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
