reindeer / 馴鹿 吃什麼?

nini突然問了我一個問題:「Mommy, seriously what do reindeers eat?」(媽咪,說真的,馴鹿到底是吃什麼的?)

ni媽媽:「errrr......問得好,我也不知道他們是吃什麼的咧!聖誕老公公給他們吃紅蘿蔔,但是,它們應該也吃草的吧?!」

nini:「是喔,那我們去google一下就知道啦!!」

蝦毀 (台語:什麼)~ 你也知道「google一下就知道了」??!!!!沒錯,nini常常要我們google找答案或是圖片給他看...我們上網一起查過killer whales、blue whales...等圖片和資訊。

於是,母女兩個就坐下來一起google了一下,查一查馴鹿到底是吃什麼的?

答案是: (from yahoo Answer)
During winter months reindeer love to eat lichens, especially reindeer moss. Lichens are organisms where fungus and green algae or bacteria grow together (called a symbiotic relationship). Reindeer also enjoy eating the leaves of willow trees and birch trees. The will sometimes feed on bird eggs, lemmings (small rodents) and arctic char (a type of fish). In late summer reindeer like to eat mushrooms.

他們是吃青苔,尤其是馴鹿苔蘚 (reindeer moss )。他們也吃柳樹和樺樹的樹葉,偶爾也吃鳥蛋、旅鼠(小齧齒動物)和北極紅點鮭。夏末的時候吃蘑菇。

感謝nini問這問題,不然, 我還一直以為馴鹿都是吃紅蘿蔔的呢!!但是....想一想...北極....應該也很難種出紅蘿蔔吧!!!哈哈哈!!
