Some people have a great imagination to visualize this in their heads first.A Tree in Andra Pradesh -India
At a glance you may be confused the above tree with a massive trunk with a ‘Baobab’ tree (which is renowned to possess the largest tree trunks of the world) but, this is yet another unknown specie which is seen in the close proximity of a hermitage deep in the dense forest in ‘Andra Pradesh’ in India.

The bullying by one of the Reindeer last night wasn’t very bad, but it was unfair after the long journey that they had yesterday to have one being chased about. After splitting them up into two groups they settled and when we let them out together this afternoon in the corral there was no bickering at all, but until we put them in to their field we will keep them separated. They will soon sort out the pecking order once that they are in their field. All new animals put together for the first time go through it. Although all of Reindeer came from the same place I should think that they were in different groups. A couple of them meeting each other for the first time yesterday.
Branston got really spooked when he first set eyes on the Reindeer. He didn’t hang around to get out of their sight and hid away for a good few hours. Even when we put his feed down he didn’t want to know until we took it to him out of sight of the Reindeer. This afternoon he started to get braver, first looking from a distance, then near the corral but with an exit if he needed to run. Eventually he put his head into the corral, even touching noses with one of the Reindeer. He will be alright now.
This afternoon after only being here for a few hours two the Reindeer are getting friendly with us. They are coming up to us and allowing us to touch them. For the next few days before they go into their field we will try to get then being walked with a lead rope. We never have considered keeping Reindeer and if it had not been that we were offered Padfoot from Cricket I must admit that we would not have have got any. Up to now we have found them to be extremely nice animals to have and our Holiday Guests all seem to agree.
