Officials in northern Sweden have just given the all-clear for the construction of the world's largest elk, or moose as the animal is known in North America.
Perched on top of a mountain, the 45-metre (148-foot) elk will double as a restaurant and concert hall that can seat up to 350 guests. From its antlers, more than 500 metres above sea level, visitors will be able to enjoy the spectacular view over the valleys below.
With its front legs in Norrbotten and hind quarters in Västerbotten, Stoorn will be positioned to bite on an enormous pine tree. A lift will then transport visitors through the tree to and from the creature's mouth. The reception area is to be located between the teeth and the tonsils.
In the belly of the beast is the conference centre, which - like the concert hall - will also hold up to 350 people. Visitors will be able to move through the levels using spiral staircases located inside the elk's legs.
