Funny I never noticed the pattern until now... But let's embrace it

For #FaunaFriday here's a #shark and a... #reindeer?

On our way to Mora, we have observed a landscape in transition. While the snow has melted completely in a few areas, some lakes remain frozen. We even had a brief stop to make way for reindeer along the route."

So, speaking of #ReindeerHerders and #Reindeer, apparently, Reindeer are the only #Cervid species that is immune to #CWD (#ChronicWastingDisease).

What freezing plants in blocks of ice can tell us about the future of #Svalbard’s plant communities
The polar #willow is a key forage species for Svalbard's #reindeer population. A warming #climate means these plants can be encased in ice rather than snow for much of the winter. Can they survive this?

Photo theme - animal encounters

From just under a year ago when we were in Alta, Norway and had just visited an ice hotel. With some time to spare afterwards we walked around the area through knee-deep snow in places and found some reindeer and sleighs tied up at the back of the hotel.

Christmas may have came and went, but much like many folks' holiday packages, there's some stragglers that still need tending to. Don't worry! There's a special team for that. They're, uh... a bit special, but they're trying their best!

Hosted another Reindeer Sleigh collab this past Christmas, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it properly organized and shared around in a timely manner, so I figured we would extend it into January in order for anyone who wanted to participate to have some extra time! I'm super glad we did, because this year's team is quite excellent!! We may be late to the party, but we still lookin' BANGER.

Santa told to slim down sleigh in festive efficiency crackdown

Jamie Burns, from sustainability firm Ailsa, has swapped boardrooms for the North Pole this Christmas, crunching the numbers on Santa’s epic journey. And the results are enough to make even Rudolph break into a sweat.

Reindeer fuel bill revealed

According to Burns, Santa’s nine trusty reindeer need a staggering 24,000 calories each just to get airborne — six times their normal daily intake. That’s the equivalent of 108kg of grain and 108kg of CO₂ emissions before the sleigh even hits the first rooftop.

Keeping the herd fuelled for the full world tour would mean chomping through 77,400 carrots — racking up nearly 1.1 tonnes of CO₂ in one night.

And don’t even think about plugging in an electric sleigh. Burns says the stop‑start journey to 500 million homes would demand 2,400 GWh of energy — generating 1.14 million tonnes of CO₂e. That’s more than some countries pump out in a week.

Four ways Santa can save Christmas

Burns has drawn up a cheeky four‑point plan to help Santa cut the fat this festive season:

• Streamline the sleigh weight – lighter packaging, digital gifts and pre‑sorted loads could shave hundreds of kilos off the reindeer’s workload.
• Upgrade aerodynamics – candy‑cane runners and sleigh rails could be slimmed down, with low‑friction coatings to cut drag.
• Plan a smarter route – advanced mapping could stop Santa zig‑zagging across continents and wasting energy.
• AI‑assisted flight optimisation – a digital co‑pilot could tweak speed, altitude and chimney sequences in real time.

How kids can help

And it’s not just Santa who needs to change his ways. Burns says children can play their part too.

“Leave out energy‑dense carrot bundles clearly labelled for the reindeer,” he advised.

“And keep Santa’s mince pie and milk within arm’s reach of the fireplace. Every second saved inside each house adds up when you’re visiting hundreds of millions of homes.”
