what is baby reindeer

Reindeer babies are called calves. Calves are born during the spring and summer months, typically in May or June. Calves are born blind and rely on their mothers for protection and nourishment. They are covered in a layer of soft, brown fur that helps them blend in with the forest environment. Calves can walk within a few hours of birth and are usually fully weaned from their mother's milk by the time they are six months old.
