Reindeer Remembering Their Origins

Not so long ago, I already showed off our local analogues of livestock. True, these were not the happiest representatives of this genus - racing reindeer. Maybe I'm wrong, and their life is much easier and more enjoyable than I thought.

But in that post I deliberately didn’t post some of the photos, which clearly show that during the races these animals are often injured, and their horns are forcibly cut off so that they don’t hurt each other in a harness.

That's fascinating to someone who knows nothing about reindeer: we have herd antelope here but I can't think of any species that do this

Beautifully photographed and written! Thanks for sharing! 😄

A wonderful story of the reindeer, Northman. An animal I don’t know much about except for them leading the sled of Santa Clause. 🎅 There is a noticeable difference in the herd kept by the Sami…looking so much healthier and happier. 🤗

This circle thing is fascinating. Another mystery animals do to keep us wondering. 😊
