When: June 5, 2021
Where: GaiaZoo Kerkrade, The Netherlands
We've always had a weak spot. I don't know even where it originates from, as in the Netherlands, we really don't care about Santa and his sled pulled by Reindeer (we have Sinterklaas and the Pieten and horse Amerigo instead). But there's something very cute about them
Species: Finnish Forest Reindeer (Bosrendier)
Latin name: Rangifer Tarandus Fennicus
Originates from Finland and northwestern Russia.
Did you know:
…The Finnish Forest Reindeer is slightly larger than the semi-domesticated Mountain Reindeer, and prefers a dense boreal habitat over the open tundra.
…They are rarely seen by humans in the wild due to their chosen habitat.
…The species migrates seasonally back and forth across the long Russo-Finnish border.
