The reindeer are like a large deer. They are slightly larger than a caribou. The reindeer are marked in their rank according to the size of their antlers. A baby has no antlers so it shares the rank of its mother.

One of the reindeer scratched himself and then came close to us. After our group left, the reindeer went back into the hut. They had both male and female reindeer in the fenced-in area. One reindeer shed its antlers earlier than the other one. |
The reindeer migrate between the coastal Arctic and the tundra. The top speed of a reindeer is thirty-two miles per hour. In the winter the reindeer feed on lichen and reindeer moss. They mate from early September to late October. |

They are adapted to their cold environment well because of their very thick fur.
