Lapland reindeer and the tradition of the Lapps

The Lapps have herded reindeer for about 3000 years in the Arctic north. They domesticate them for hides, bedding, clothing, containers, tools, meat and milk, and use them to pull sleighs. Folklore about flying reindeer and Santa’s sleigh origins traces to Lapland.

Reindeer Adaptations for Arctic Survival

Reindeer endure extreme cold with broad flat hooves for snowy and muddy ground, side dewclaws to prevent sinking, and a furred nose and ears for insulation. Their antlers, velvet and shedding cycle, and double coat support mating, calf protection, and water tolerance. They migrate long distances, feed on moss and lichen in winter, and can digest poisonous plants.
