R REINDEER

The reindeers hooves adapt to the season so in the summer when the tundra is soft and wet, the reindeers footpads become sponge-like in order to get a bigger surface area on the damp group. In the winter, the reindeers footpads shrink and tighten, exposing the rim of the hoof which cuts into the ice and crusted snow to stop the reindeer from slipping.

Squirrel - The red squirrel is a wonderful reforestation agent because it often fails to go back and dig up its seeds and nuts that were stored for the winter. Only 25 percent of young red squirrels will survive to be one year old due to birds of prey or migrations away from the maternal home range.

W WALABY

The wallaby is a marsupial meaning that the female wallaby has a pouch on her tummy in which to raise her young. The female wallaby gives birth to a single baby wallaby (occasionally twins), known as a joey, after a gestation period of only a month. The joey then crawls up into its mother's pouch, where it is cared for and nurtured until it is fully developed.
