Why do people still herding a reindeer?
Reindeer can carry an average of 50-70 kilograms of cargo and can travel 60-70 kilometers a day on long journeys. Because reindeer skin is so smooth, saddle can deviate when riding on rough or sloping ground. Therefore, the rider uses a thin stick about 1.5 meters long and uses it instead of a whip, and uses it as a stick to lean on the sloping side. Reindeer skin does not peel under any circumstances. Scientists believe that reindeer were the first domesticated domestic animals in North Asia. Reindeer antlers do not have the same number of branches as deer antlers. As you grow older, you will have more branches, and as you get older, the number of branches will decrease.
