Did you know all reindeer live south of the North Pole? Norway’s reindeer like to wander. By August, 42 of them had crossed into Russia. Norway says 40 came back. The government spent $348,000 to replace a four-mile section of reindeer fence. The whole fence between the two countries is 93 miles long.
