On Sunday morning the antlers may have left the Lower Austrian capital to the north, the police said. “Since then there has been no contact,” said spokesman Stefan Loidl. The hype around the moose continued to cause concern among animal rights activists.

In the evenings, “Emil” had moved on the tracks of St. Pölten Central Station and apparently also took a seat there. The result was an interruption of the western railway line, which was lifted on Sunday shortly before 1 a.m. The moose in the state capital had already become a real crowd puller in the state capital. Where sights of “Emil” became known, several people often grew up and pulled out their cell phones to make photos and videos. For security reasons, police patrols were also out and about in the affected areas from the late afternoon.
“Emil” stamped at St. Pölten
The moose, which has been considered a “electoral Austrian” for a little more than two and a half weeks, had shouted at St. Pölten in the past few days and had already appeared in the Pottenbrunn district on Thursday and Friday. The antlers may come from Poland and hike to Lower Austria via the Czech Republic.
