This is real, serious traffic sign in Sweden, warning about pairing elks on the road.

For everybody who could read German, look here.

Only in Sweden...

BTW, "in unzweideutiger Stellung" - what a fantastic euphemism!! Must remember that for future use...

I'd translate that 'explicit' rather than 'disambiguous position (?)'

The question is - how did they get two elks on a roadsign? They're huge critters. I don't think they do elks in pony size.

Edited to add: Oh. Maybe baby elks?? But then that's an entirely new issue...

The mind boggles...

Edited to add: Well, horse breeders do. But I'm not sure how elk breeders go about it. Do people actively breed elks, or do elks kind of like breed themselves?!

Saw a couple of cows having sex in a field whilst travelling up the M6 on Monday - gave me a giggle

I wonder what would happen if cou came across that situation in a Merc A-Class..... I hear they have enough trouble dealing with a single moose..... but TWO MOOSE? SHAGGING? the thing would probably instantly spontaneously combust!

One of the critters on a road is enough to ruin your day. I could tell many a tale of encountering elks (single ones!) on deserted Swedish roads, but I won't. I'd hate to meet two - together! - whose minds were on other things!

SGirl..... I guess the same would go for people too.... at least they usually have the piece-of-mind to use the hard shoulder (or other hard body parts )
