Reindeer in Corral

Description:
Reindeer in a corral on the tundra. The herd had 50,000 reindeer when it was at its biggest. The population dropped off because herders couldn't keep up with that many animals, the reindeer began mixing with the caribou, and wolves started killing more and more of the reindeer.
