Emil Los, caught after a long summer of freedom in Central Europe

The wandering moose, spotted in dozens of places in Central Europe this summer, was captured by authorities in Austria and liberated near the Czech border.

The moose, called Emil, was reassured by the Austrian wildlife officials on Monday after deviating dangerously near the highway near the village of Satlt, Upper Austria.

It was equipped with GPS label and placed on the Czech-Austrian border, on the edge of the forest a sum of South Bohemia.

It was unclear whether the operation was coordinated with Czech authorities.

Sumava is home to approximately a population of 10-20 moose and hopes Emil will join them instead of continuing his permulation.

The young man’s journey was entered into large parts of Central Europe, as he was first spotted near the village of Lyvarovice, in the northeast corner of the Czech Republic, on June 2. He was thought to have entered the country from Poland.

Since then, Emil has become a sensation in social media, with hundreds of photos and videos posted online. There are at least three groups on Facebook dedicated to it, with a combined total of 50,000 members.

According to the online Iroslas News Portal, he wandered through 60 cities and villages in four countries – Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria – on a trip approaching up to 500 kilometers.

He breaks through his way on the roads and railways, arranges local streams and swims through the Danube River. He was spotted at the border of two cultural events, including the Heavy Metal Festival in South Moravia.

Elk was once a native of Czech forests, but were hunted to disappear in the Middle Ages. There are several attempts to introduce them over the centuries, but they remain unsuccessful until the 70s.

It is believed that the population of the Czech Republic is about fifty animals, much less than the alleged country in Poland of Emil, which has tens of thousands.
