#4: I Spy with My Little Eye

Have you ever noticed the color of a reindeer’s eyes? During the summer months, their eyes appear golden in hue. This coloration allows them to maximize their ability to capture light in the low-light conditions of the Arctic tundra, aiding in their survival and foraging.

As the harsh Arctic winter sets in, their eye color undergoes a transformation, turning into a deep blue. This change is thought to help protect their eyes from the intense glare of the snowy landscapes while still enhancing their vision in dim light. Reindeer’s ability to adapt their eye color seasonally showcases nature’s remarkable strategies for coping with extreme environments.
