ANCHORAGE , Alaska, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Holiday shoppers in Anchorage, Alaska, were treated to an unusual spectacle -- a moose, apparently drunk on fermented crab apples, tangled in Christmas lights.
The moose, which has been nicknamed Buzzwinkle, earlier made the news for his exploits wandering the city's downtown, but gathered even more attention when he planted himself in the courtyard of Bernie's Bungalow Lounge and offered glassy-eyed and dizzy looks to passersby, the Anchorage Daily News reported Wednesday.
"He just has this goofy look on his face," said Rick Sinnott, a Fish and Game biologist who examined the moose. He said it probably had consumed too many crab apples from a tree on the property.
"He's either drunk or in gastric distress," he said.
The moose had decorated his antlers earlier during a visit to Town Square Park. LED lights from the park's trees became snagged on Buzzwinkle's antlers and he pulled them from the branches, trailing lights as he wandered around downtown.
