Isn't he just too adorable? The antlers and eye lines are the only things that distinguish it from the background snow. Talking about capturing this white little calf, the photographer said, "The calf seemed a bit scared at first, but we sat completely quiet and were very calm, and eventually it came quite close." A brown reindeer was also there around the white one, which the photographer thought would be the mother. Christmas poems, stories and cartoons have seen reindeer caricatures on them from so long so spotting them becomes even more special around this season of joy.
