Svalbard reindeer
The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus ) is a small subspecies of reindeer found on the Svalbard archipelago of Norway. They are the only large grazing mammal in the European High Arctic, and this makes them exceptional for studies concerning the introduction of pollutants to changing ecosystems. They are relatively sedentary, and are thus highly vulnerable to changes in local conditions.
