Did you know……
There is something very special to see wild reindeer 💕 I used my big camera lens to capture these beauties in the wild. They were about 300 meters away from me and I was admiring them in their natural habitat. I think it’s a mamma cow, a calf and a bull 💕 but please correct me if I’m wrong.
Below you will find some interesting information about the reindeer!
Outside of folk tales and holiday movies, not much is commonly known about the species. While they may not be able to fly in real life, they can, indeed, swim — and see ultraviolet light.
While our inferior human vision allows us to only see wavelengths to around 400 nanometers (each one billionth of a meter), they can see up to 320 nanometers — that includes the spectrum humans can only see with a black light. This helps them spot food and predators more clearly in the blaring light of the North.
Because they tend to reside in harsh environments, reindeer undergo a number of physical transformations when the seasons change. During winter, their footpads shrink and tighten, the World Animal Foundation says, exposing the hoof rim so it can cut into ice and snow for traction. In the summer, those pads become sponge-like, ideal for getting around on the soft tundra.
