And that's why Reindeer has the sight...

It's because them see in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.

Oh - back on the fic. Hopes new chapter this month.

(To clarify: I got the idea for the Sight from reading that reindeer can see ultraviolet)

It has been proposed that UV flashes on power lines are responsible for reindeer avoiding these structures because "...in darkness these animals [reindeer] see power lines not as dim, passive structures but, rather, as lines of flickering light stretching across the terrain.

Tarandro reindeer can see magic ley-lines. Head-canon accepted.

back on the fic. Hopes new chapter this month.

Oh hey! I was just reading our little exchange about Princess Twilight getting summoned yesterday and thought about how cool it would be to read a new chapter!

[Star ShaDe]

Ooh, that's a cool tidbit of information, and a neat reason for the Sight.
