The adventures of Emil the moose keep a corner of Austria on its toes

Emil the moose, originating from Poland, caused several-hour closure of Vienna-Salzburg main line and attracted over 10,000 Facebook followers, officials advise no human contact.

  • On Saturday evening, Emil the moose wandered onto the main railway station tracks, prompting a several-hour closure of the Vienna-Salzburg main line in Lower Austria, where he has appeared nearly three weeks ago.
  • Emil the moose is believed to have come from Poland via the Czech Republic, and because moose aren't native to Austria, his nearly three-week presence in Lower Austria is rare.
  • Sightings have drawn curious onlookers and by Monday a Facebook fan page had 10,000 members, while local animal protection groups urged people not to feed or approach him.
  • On Monday authorities said Emil's whereabouts were unclear and he was believed to have moved northward out of St. Pölten, while police reported no new deployments related to the moose.
  • Late last week the moose appeared in a suburb of St. Pölten, and for weeks sightings of Emil the moose have kept a corner of Austria on its toes.
