Reindeer Romp: Check out these caribou at S.F. Zoo


This winter, while Dasher, Dancer and company are getting ready for their midnight trek 'round the world, their counterparts Holly, Velvet, Peppermint and Belle will be doing a little reindeer PR for the herd at the San Francisco Zoo.

Starting Saturday, the four reindeer steers will be on view in a special corral on the zoo's Patas Lawn for admirers to observe up close, and though they won't be able to pet the deer, Jim Nappi, assistant curator of hoofstock at the zoo, says that these companionable animals are not shy.
