How Reindeer Vision Has Evolved to Find Their Favorite Food
Reindeer have always been known for their incredible vision, but now researchers have discovered how they evolved to have such keen eyesight. It turns out that their vision has adapted to help them spot their favorite food in the snow. By studying the genetic basis of reindeer vision, scientists have discovered how the animals evolved to be able to spot moss, their favorite source of food, within the snowy landscape. The findings were recently published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution.
