Reindeer

I wanted to picture this beautiful animal as strong, slim, proud... Many people know about deer, and they have long been a symbol of winter and New Year holidays. But did you know that the reindeer hooves are unique! They are able to change depending on the season. In summer, when the ground is soft, the sole of the hoof becomes spongy. And in winter, the pads on the bottom of the hoof are tightened to expose the edge of the hoof, which cuts into snow and ice, thus avoiding slipping and helping to obtain a moss from under the snow. That is, reindeer can change the "summer tires" to "winter". đŸ˜‰
