These free grazing animals come close to <br> our home, digging with their hooves in the snow for lichen and moss while keeping a watchful eye on their <br> surroundings. They often hang out just outside the kennel area - keeping our dogs entertained all day. <br><br><br> <img src=pets2.jpg border="1"><br>The reindeer and the caribou of North America are the same species, Rangifer tarandus. They sometimes <br> look quite different but in fact there is more variation in appearance among different types of caribou than <br> there is between certain types of reindeer and caribou. The tundra reindeer of northern Lapland are much <br> like the Porcupine Caribou Herd of the northern Yukon and northeastern Alaska while the forest reindeer <br> of Lapland are comparable to the more numerous and larger sized woodland caribou, which inhabit <br> the boreal forests of North America. <br><br><br> <img src=pets3.jpg border="1"><br>The ability of the reindeer and caribou to use lichens as a primary winter food distinguishes them from all <br>other large mammals and has enabled them to survive on harsh northern rangeland. Caribou use their <br> excellent sense of smell to locate lichens under the snow, and they dig the lichens out with their hooves. <br><br><br> <img src=lilypet.jpg border="1"><br> Unlike most Malamutes, Lily can be trusted off leash in the forest even when there are reindeer around. <br> Lily is spayed and will be ten years old this summer. These factors, together with her personality and lots of <br> obedience training, make it possible for us to let Lily go as she pleases on our property, despite having <br> a herd of reindeer very close to our house. We would not try this with any other dog.</i> <br><br><br> <img src=lily09.jpg border="1"><br> <i>Lily is a very special girl.</i> <br><br><br> <br><a href=news.html><font color=#000000><FONT CLASS=special><b>Return</font></b></a><br><br><br><br></td></tr></table></div> <div align=center> <table align=center width="750" border="0" bordercolor=#777777 bgcolor=#777777 cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="250" cellpadding="0" align=left><font face="arial, verdana,helvetica"><font color=#FFFFFF> marit@skyfyre.se</font></td><td width="250" cellpadding="0" align=center>&nbsp;</td><td width="250" cellpadding="0" align=right> <font color=#FFFFFF><font face="arial,verdana, helvetica"><i> A SkyFyre Publication</font></i></td></tr> </table></div> </body></html>
