Feeli the Finnish reindeer,
Had some very shiny horns ...
OK, we'll stop there.
Here's the news:
"Herders in Lapland are spraying their reindeer with reflective paint to help drivers see them in the dark," the BBC writes.
It's an experiment to see if glow-in-the-dark antlers might help herders reduce the number of their reindeer killed each year on highways. According to Helsingen Sanomat, the largest circulation newspaper in Scandinavia, on average 4,000 reindeer die in Finland each year when they're hit by vehicles.
So, Finland's Reindeer Herders' Association is testing florescent spray — on the animals' fur as well as their antlers.
