A bold tribute to the Swedish Moose on the Flag and the King of the Scandinavian Forest where the moose, the alg in Swedish, the largest member of the deer family standing up to 2.1 metres at the shoulder and weighing up to 700 kilograms, is so intimately associated with Sweden and Scandinavian identity that it is universally known in English as the Swedish moose, where the population of moose in Sweden numbers between 300,000 and 400,000 animals in the vast boreal forests of spruce and pine that cover 70 percent of Sweden's land area, making Sweden one of the highest moose-density countries in the world and making an encounter with a moose along a forest road one of the quintessential Swedish experiences that tourists seek and Swedes cherish as a connection to the wild nature that surrounds even the most urban Swedish life, where the Swedish tradition of allemansratten, the right of public access allowing every person to walk, camp, and forage on any land in Sweden regardless of ownership, reflects a uniquely Scandinavian relationship between the human and natural worlds that the moose perfectly embodies, and where the moose's combination of enormous physical presence, prehistoric dignity, and occasional hapless suburban intrusion, such as the famous Swedish news stories of moose getting stuck in apple trees, has made it the beloved mascot of Swedish national identity and the subject of an entire souvenir industry.
