I saw reindeer and moose roaming freely through the woods.

Here are some working reindeer, carrying people and goods.

Reindeer hooves surprised me- wide, flatly cloven, and huge in proportion to their short legs. Pie-shaped feet. The better to trod the earth with.

This lead reindeer decided to take a load off while his keeper gets the others organized behind him.

I found the reindeer to be sheepdog calm - as well as (sorry) delicious to eat with juniper berries. Life with no supermarket to buffer reality brings one up against these choices.
