Reindeer

A Gentle Sparring Moment Softly swirl did the airy flakes of snow as the amply-antlered bull Svalbard Reindeer casually approached a nearby member of the herd.

Instead, the perpetrator simply was exerting and reinforcing his dominance. ~ Anecdote and Svalbard Reindeer capture, A Gentle Sparring Moment © Jerry L. Ferrara, Spitsbergen, Norway.
