21 reindeer must be selected for the annual reindeer race, but first they need to be examined. What are your thoughts on these reindeer's checkups with Dr. Oakley?

Their fascinating

[@panicmosem5969]

The reindeer handlers need football helmets with padded face mask (or similar) to protect them from stray antlers. I was just watching the show and thought that they were very exposed (imagine an antler into an eye socket or mouth) I realize that it's a veterinary show but that doesn't mean the humans have to put themselves into excess danger.

This looks super fun, and for a good cause too!

[@tngchinghwa]

looks like a fun event, but i don't know about the antlers..

[@sonicbaseballzoodreams]

That was so much fun 🎊🎉, running with the reindeer🦌. Reindeer are very social animals, if see their own kind they follow whenever one goes they all go.
That was so fun to see 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
