Reindeer in Norway

Reindeer Herding – A Family Life

Muskox in the City
Even though the males are called bulls and the females cows, the muskoxen are more closely related to sheep than cattle. Make no mistake, though – this is not your average cuddly ba-ba-blacksheep! A grown animal can be 2,5 m long and weigh up to 400 kgs, and their long curved horns mean business.

Ah, baby steps – I do them too! It takes twice as long to get anywhere…lol. I think I have to get the slide technique. I see the youth just glide over the slippery parts – they even take a run up.
