Reindeer walking on the road in Norway????

When you drive in Northern Norway you might suddenly find reindeer in the middle of the road! Like these who were grazing not so far away from the city Hammerfest in the far north! They are quite used to cars and do not hurry to get out of the way:) In the north (Finnmark county) there are around 140 000 reindeer belonging to the Sami indigenous population. Depending on the season they are moved around so they have access to good areas for grazing, so in summer you find them close to the coast and the main roads in the north!

These reindeer are mountain reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus), also called the Norwegian reindeer, northern reindeer, Common reindeer or mountain caribou. It is a mid-sized to large subspecies of the reindeer that is native to the western Scandinavian Peninsula, particularly Norway. In Norway, it is called fjellrein, villrein or tundra-rein. Mountain reindeer are medium to large even-toed ungulates with a thick double coat that protects them from the Norwegian winter. Male reindeer (bulls) weigh on average 70 to 150 kg (154 to 331 pounds), while females (cows) weigh on average 40 to 100 kg (88 to 220 pounds). Both bulls and cows have antlers, but cows do not use them to battle one another; instead, like some bovids, they use their antlers to defend food or territory from intruders. Their summer coat is mostly pale brown with white rumps and, in some genetic variations, black legs and creamy-white necks. Their winter coat can be cream-white with beige shoulders and backs, or completely cream-white. (Source: Wikipedia).
