Finnish Spray Reindeer With Glow-In-Dark Liquid To Prevent Accidents [1]

"Glowing reindeer can be spotted in northern Finland thanks to a reflective spray which makes them more visible in a bid to prevent car accidents, Finnish reindeer breeders said on Tuesday."



"'We are hoping that it is so useful that we can use the spray in the entire region and on all reindeer, from young to old,' said Anne Ollila, head of Finland's Reindeer Herders' Association.

The association has started testing two reflective sprays on the animals' antlers so they are more visible to motorists at night."
