According to Nils Pejryd, who is the editor of web and social media, the moose approached the water, but chose for some reason not to swim across. 



This area has been used by moose for thousands of years - the moose follow ancient paths to find summer work.

There are also a number of catch pits in the area.



The place is located a couple of miles northeast of Junsele in Sollefteå municipality.

"The big moose hike" is currently broadcast on SVT Play - all hours of the day.
