Pregnant reindeer death shock: 'they all exploded'

The remains of an entire herd of pregnant reindeer were found on Thursday near the bottom of a 1,200 metre-high cliff in northern Sweden, having all apparently plummeted to their death.

"It's just terrible," Kjell-Åke Pittsa, chair of the Unna Tjerusj Sami village to which the herd belonged, told The Local.

"All of them jumped off the cliff and plunged to their deaths."

The grisly discovery was made on Wednesday by a reindeer herder who traveled up in the mountainous region on the edge of the Stora Sjöfallet National Park following several days of harsh weather to check on the condition of the reindeer.
