Christin and her husband were carpentrying on their farm when they discovered strange noises from their barn.
– We have the old barn as storage and carpentry. When my husband was going to go in and get tools, he heard strange noises further into the barn. He went in to check what it was and saw two large horns behind some old furniture. And suddenly a lone reindeer jumped forward, says Christin Alvebro who is a little worried so that it does not hurt on all the debris that is there.
According to Jonas Stinnerbom, chairman of Vilhelmina northern Sami village, whose area for reindeer grazing runs on the border with Solberg, the reindeer is trying to escape the heat wave.
– Reindeer like to seek protection from insects and try to escape the heat. And can then end up in a little strange places that they experience as a little cooler. This is not the first time this has happened, says Jonas Stinnerbom.
Affected by heat
– The reindeer suffers from the heat. It can become quite fearless and behave strangely when it gets too hot, says Jonas Stinnerbom.
It is still unclear whose and in which cohabitation the shadow-thirsty reindeer belongs to. No information has emerged that the reindeer were injured during their visit to the barn.
