Wild Reindeer: The Arctic Nomad in Captivity

Wild reindeer thrive in zoo environments designed to mimic the tundra, with plenty of open space for roaming and cool, shaded areas for resting. Their diet includes lichens, moss, and specially formulated feed that replicates their natural nutritional needs.

Enrichment activities, such as providing hanging foliage or scent trails, encourage their foraging instincts. Zoos also focus on breeding programs to preserve genetic diversity and educate visitors about the challenges reindeer face due to climate change and habitat loss. Visitors can observe their majestic antlers up close and learn about their incredible migration journeys in the wild.
