Learn about Reindeer while taking in stunning views of the Enchantments, th=
en go INSIDE the reindeer enclosure for an up close and personal experience=
 with the whole herd. Feed reindeer from the palm of your hand, feel their =
furry noses. This experience sells out quickly, advanced reservations are r=
equired.

The illness, which is related to mad cow disease, infects moose, deer, elk,=
 and reindeer and can spread easily. The disease attacks the animal's brain=
, causing drooling, instability, lack of coordination, loss of fear of huma=
ns, among other symptoms.

While the USDA regulates the international movement of animals, the VADCS O=
ffice of Veterinary Services regulates the movement of animals into Virgini=
a. According to the DWR, a permit is required to possess any type of deer i=
n Virginia. So naturally, official permission was given upon the expected v=
isit from Saint Nick and his famous reindeer.

In tonight's episode, we once again meet up with Santa on Christmas Eve. Th=
is year, he spent a little too long in the Sanderson household, and his rei=
ndeer accidentally carried on without him! Luckily, the Sanderson children =
were willing to help, and with a little Christmas magic they soon track dow=
n the reindeer to the most surprising place.

During this two-hour event, we invite you to come see live reindeer and lea=
rn about these wonderful, adaptive animals. Free winter-themed face paintin=
g and hot beverages will be provided, while supplies last. Appropriate for =
all ages. No advanced registration necessary.



The iconic antlers of the reindeer are used for multiple purposes. Males us=
e their larger antlers to defend from predators and to impress potential ma=
tes. Females use their antlers to dig through snow and find food in the gro=
und.

One aid in spotting food is some super-powered vision. Studies show that re=
indeer can see UV light, which may help them survive in the bright and UV-r=
ich Arctic. UV, or ultraviolet light, is just outside the range of light vi=
sible to humans, with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than what =
we can perceive. UV light can harm our eyes, but reindeer appear to be prot=
ected from such damage, and can use UV light to detect food sources or lurk=
ing predators in their snow-covered habitats.

Reindeer and their ranging habits affect whole ecosystems, and among the cr=
eatures who have come to benefit from their presence are us humans. In part=
icular, the Indigenous S=C3=A1mi people of Northern Europe, who inhabit S=
=C3=A1pmi (or Lapland), a region spanning parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland,=
 and Russia, have a very special relationship with the reindeer of those la=
nds. For hundreds of years, S=C3=A1mi have been living alongside the reinde=
er, undertaking traditional reindeer herding as far back as the 17th centur=
y, and domesticating a few draft animals and living off of meat and clothin=
g from wild reindeer populations before then.

Indeed, the S=C3=A1mi way of life revolves around reindeer. The traditional=
 reindeer herding they practice is tied to the patterns of the seasons and =
the conditions of the environment. It is passed generationally among famili=
es, learned through experience as a herder comes to know the animals of the=
 herd and respond to their needs. Unfortunately, the S=C3=A1mi have been fo=
rced to struggle against impeding land restrictions, the cultural erasure o=
f colonization, and hostile policies from the governments of the countries =
they inhabit. As mining and logging operations expand, there is less and le=
ss land for reindeer to graze, while at the same time warming conditions fo=
rce reindeer to range larger areas to get adequate food.

One night, the Sprites of the Northern Lights - a group of singing sprites =
who fly around the North Pole - witness the birth of a baby reindeer named =
Rudolph, who has an unusual red, shiny nose. Later, Rudolph and his parents=
, Blitzen and Mitzi, meet up with Rudolph's three uncles - Dasher, Comet, a=
nd Cupid. Cupid tickles Rudolph and triggers his glowing nose, which draws =
attention and causes Rudolph to be mocked. Meanwhile, two of Santa Claus's =
elves, Doggle and Boone, cross the ice bridge of the wicked Ice Queen, Stor=
mella, accidentally destroying several ice statues while delivering Santa's=
 mail. When Stormella finds out, she demands Santa hand them over to her. W=
hen he refuses, she closes her bridge as punishment and warns that if anyon=
e crosses it, she will create a blizzard so strong it will stop Santa from =
delivering presents to children around the world on Christmas Eve.

A year later, Rudolph starts school, where he is ridiculed by everyone incl=
uding his mean-spirited cousin and Cupid's son, Arrow for wanting to be amo=
ng Santa's reindeer, the Flyers, just like his own father, despite his nose=
. The only ones who don't tease him are his teacher, Mrs. Prancer and a you=
ng doe named Zoey. After running away from school, Santa meets Rudolph and =
reassures him that his nose is grand and that to be a Flyer, a reindeer nee=
ds to have a true heart, a trait that he sees in Rudolph.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHad a very shiny nose,And if you ever saw it,=
You would even say it glows.All of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call=
 him names;They never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games.
