"At first we thought it was a bird, then we started to think it was a submarine," says Dennis Olsson.
Dennis Olsson was out with his father and grandfather at half past eight on Saturday morning to fish when they saw the moose, something Helsingborgs dagblad was the first to report on.
The men drove closer with the boat and filmed. In the clip, the moose is seen quickly looking at the camera and then continuing its journey.
"It's good to leave it alone"
Letting the moose swim is exactly what you should do," says moose expert Göran Ericsson, professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
"It's good to leave it alone. Don't drive too close, let it swim on.
He says that it is not uncommon for moose to swim in the water, but that they often do so at times when we humans do not see them. They often swim between islands in the archipelago, which makes it a rarer sight down in Skåne. Göran Ericsson believes that it is a young moose that has recently set out on its own.
"Young moose are discovering the world and want to find new places," he says.
Uses the sense of smell
According to Göran Ericsson, moose can swim up to a mile and they can jump into the water even if they do not see the island they are heading towards.
"We think they use smell or other senses to navigate," he says.
Dennis Olsson thinks it was a fun experience and hopes that the moose found the right one.
"Hopefully it will be on land again," says Dennis Olsson.
