Reindeer: Legends of the North

The reindeer is one of the Arctic’s most iconic animals, perfectly adapted to survive freezing climates. With their thick fur and wide hooves, they can travel long distances across snow and ice. Reindeer are unique among deer because both males and females grow antlers, which they use to forage through snow for food. They play a vital role in northern ecosystems and have been central to human culture for centuries—featured in folklore, traditions, and even holiday legends.
