The moose population in Scandinavia has exploded, causing harm and danger in many places.
There has been an increase of 30 times the moose population since the turn of last century, meaning there is now perhaps the largest moose population since the ice age, reports Norwegian Broadcasting Corp NRK.
And many are worried about what the effects will be on the ecology, not to mention the rapidly increasing traffic accidents.

A record number of moose have been run down on roads and by trains this winter, while the future’s forests are being eaten up by the majestic animals, complain landowners.
Forestry researcher Knut Solbraa has been warning for years about the effect the increasing moose population is having on the plants they graze on.
At the same time, animals of prey, such as wolves, are having a heyday. And the trickle-down effect has reached carrion-eaters like foxes and ravens.
All this also has consequences for nature, from insects to mushrooms. 
Nobody seems to know what to do, if anything can be done, and meanwhile, the kings of the forest continue to enchant people, oblivious of their plight.
A traditional ski race in the Norwegian valley of Gudbrandsdalen has been cancelled because there are too many moose in the area. Organizers feared racers would collide with them.
The Heidal sports club has organized the race, called "Rindhovda Rundt," for years. The club already had purchased the awards to be handed out and appointed staff to run the event.
Around 50 racers take part in the event every year, but this year there are estimated to be as many moose as racers. The moose, it seems, use the same ski trails as the racers, since it's easier for them to move there than in the deep snows of the forest.
