Stockholm - Too many fermented apples was believed to have been the reason a young moose bit a three-year-old girl who was playing outside her home in Kungalv, western Sweden, reports said Wednesday. On Monday morning the girl's parents heard her scream and when they looked over a hedge saw the animal next to her, the Aftonbladet newspaper said.

Three-year-old Nova's mother Maria managed to pull the little girl to safety, but Nova was very upset after the attack where she sustained bruises in her arm.

The moose disappeared but was sighted later Monday evening and after a search a hunter managed to shoot it.

"The hunters said the incident could have been much worse. The animal could have trampled her," Nova's father Michael said.

A spokesman for the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management said such cases were very rare, and advised people who come across aggressive moose to try to back away.
