Swedish resident Leif Gisslen rescued a moose that got stuck on a swing on a tree in the town of Vindo, Stockholm County, Sweden.

Gisslen told Storyful he went on his usual morning walk around his small town when he noticed the moose in distress. He walked gently towards the moose and saw it was stuck on the ropes of a swing attached to a tree.

The moose tried to get loose by moving wildly around, and Gisslen tried to soothe the animal before he went to his neighbor’s home in search of a bar to cut the swing ropes. The neighbor gave him the bar and followed Gisslen back to the moose, where he filmed the second video on Gisslen’s phone.

Gisslen then used the bar to free the animal and after about 20 minutes, it was released. Gisslen estimated the animal to be about two years old with a weight of 200 kg.

  • This man is northern swedish. The calmest folks in the world!
    Norway loves you guys! 👍🇳🇴
  • Haha, he keeps saying: "Jag kommer strax" = "I'll be there in a sec". So nice to hear calm reassurance, like as if the moose could understand him. Hard not to hear on his voice that he only wanted to help. I love this.
  • 👌👌👌💪💪💪👍👍👍 Teamwork. It took the moose calming down and a man with guts and heart to make it work. There are good people in this world.
  • The moose seemed to calm down and even aided in his own release once he realized the farmer was helping him.

    Wow! Having lived in moose country for 15 yrs I have great respect for the bravery of this man. Moose are super dangerous for 3-4 months of the year and just your normal dangerous the rest of the year, lol.
  • That rescuer was very smart by standing behind the tree. Great job!
  • The moment the moose realizes the man is working to free him....priceless!
  • @robbitt
    The best part of the video is when you see the moose realize the guy is there to help. Great job!
  • The comments made by the rescuers made this even more wholesome :,D
    Examples: "Did you wanna go for a swing?" "I'll be there in a sec." "Yes, calm, calm, calm" and my favourite: "I'm here."
  • If there is one thing you should take away from this video aside from how admirable this man is, it's what to do when a moose is in a position to attack you... Hug a tree!
  • God Bless people risking their lives for animals. Both crazy and brave.
  • Anyone that is an expert in human animal behaviour could pick this video apart and show why this man was successful in helping the animal. Brave and wise he calmed the animal dramatically till he could cut it free. Brilliant.
