The Mojo Reindeer Calf figure captures the innocence and charm of this vulnerable stage in the animal’s life. The body is sculpted with soft, rounded contours, depicting the calf's still-developing musculature and tender build. The figure features a coat of fine fur, textured to mimic the soft and fluffy appearance of a young reindeer's pelt, which is often lighter in color compared to adults.
The expressive eyes of the calf are painted with a shine, conveying a sense of curiosity and alertness. Its legs are slender yet sturdy, illustrating the calf’s ability to walk and even run shortly after birth.
The Mojo Reindeer Calf. figure measures approximately 3 L x 2.2 H x 0.8 W inches.
Caribou, known as reindeer in Europe and Asia, are fascinating creatures, especially in their early stages of life. Reindeer calves are born in the late spring or early summer, typically from May to June, after a gestation period of about 230 days. This timing ensures that the calves are born when the weather is warmer and food is more abundant, providing the best chance for survival.
At birth, reindeer calves weigh between 11 to 22 pounds and are able to stand and walk within hours. This rapid development is crucial for their survival, as they need to be able to follow their mothers and the herd shortly after birth to avoid predators. The calves are born with a thick coat of fur that provides insulation against the cold and can range in color from light brown to white, helping them blend into their environment.
The first few weeks of life are critical for reindeer calves. They rely heavily on their mothers for nutrition and protection. The mothers produce rich milk that is high in fat, which helps the calves grow quickly. During this period, the calves stay close to their mothers, learning essential survival skills and bonding with the herd. The maternal bond is strong, and the mother will fiercely protect her calf from threats.
