that's a reindeer. completely different animal, despite the name.
also, the problem with reindeer isn't really that you risk hitting one, but that you get swarmed by hundreds of them taking up the entire road. they're not afraid of vehicles since they are often around people, so their reaction to oncoming traffic is... nothing. they don't even freeze, they just continue what they were doing.
sure, taxonomically, but it looks and behaves very differently. just like i wouldn't like to call a moose a deer, despite them being related.
Reindeer and caribou are different species. Why is it lumping them together?
Are they domesticated, or is there some other reason they're not afraid of humans ? Because we have tons of actual deers here (France) that you can easily see hanging out near roads at dawn or at dusk, but they're definitely afraid of humans and cars
reindeer herding is one of the main occupations of the sami of northern scandinavia. almost all of them are domesticated.
I'm either about to get a side quest or into a boss battle
Dark Souls choir starts chanting
I didn’t know they do this. Would take my breath away if I saw that while driving😆
Imaging an uncontacted tribe seeing this shit.
Ohhh this kinda reminds me of the csodaszarvas from hungarian mythology, it is often depicted as a deer with glowing/golden antlers.
