The Finnish forest reindeer(Rangifer fennicus fennicus (Finnish: metsäpeura, Russian: лесной северный олень), also known as Eurasian or European forest reindeer[1] is a rare subspecies of the reindeer native to Finland and northwestern Russia. They are found primarily in Russian Karelia and the provinces of North Karelia, Savonia and Kainuu in Finland, though some range into central south Finland. They are distinct from the semi-domesticated mountain reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in their larger size, longer legs and preference for dense boreal forest habitat, where they are rarely seen by humans, over the open tundra.[2] The Finnish herd migrates seasonally back and forth across the long Russo-Finnish border.[2]
