that were originally wild animals that the Lapps
started to domesticate about 1,000 years ago.
Reindeer calves are born between April and early
May and the weight at birth is 5kg. During summer,
the Reindeer owners get together to mark the
calves. Each owner has his own mark, which is put
inside the reindeerʼs ear, and there are over 16,000
different marks in Finland. In the autumn, the mating season starts and the 7 dominant male reindeer gathers a large harem. The total number of reindeer
in the wintertime exceeds 200,000 head and, during the summer, about 150,000 calves are born.
Reindeer eat anything that is green including grass and birch tree leaves, as well as cloudberry flowers, berries and mushrooms. In the winter reindeer must find food by digging for lichen under the snow. They also eat moss that grows on trees but in reality most winter nutrition comes from the fat layer on their backs.
