Reindeers are such beautiful animals! Did you know that the male reindeers grow their antlers to impress the cows
and fight off other bulls in the mating season, september and october (remember that we are talking the European seasons :)) and then consequently
loose their antlers for winter at the end of the mating season, in november, whilst the
cow keep theirs till they have given birth to their calves in may. It is the shed antlers that the buttons are made of and no reindeers are killed for their horns.
New antlers start to grow in the spring and are then covered with
velvet fur.
During the summer months the calves start growing their antlers.
Last bit of Reindeer fact is that like the cows, reindeers also have 4 stomaches.
Posting my new flyer, this first one will be going in to Nordliving shop in South Melbourne, giving the customers a little know how on the Swede Little Things jewellery.
