Man battled moose- and won
A Norwegian who thought he'd be spending a quiet weekend at his cabin near Kongsvinger ended up battling an angry moose with the first weapon that came to mind - his slipper.
He was relaxing at his holiday cabin (called a hytte in Norwegian) when his uninvited visitor suddenly appeared on his property.
"The moose was furious,"he told. "Its ears were pulled back, the moose was snorting loudly and seemed to rear back on its legs."
In desperation, he took off his worn felt slipper and threw it at the moose. It hit the huge animal, known in Norway as "The King of the Forest," right in the forehead.
That was apparently enough to startle the moose, who calmed down, turned around and wandered off.
