Fauna of Lapland
Among the animals emblématiques of Lapland the Renne is. The populations of this mammal are not easily estimable since most of the animals can be regarded as partially domesticated (400 000 individuals for only Swedish Lapland).
Lapland presents several predatory mammals, such as the Brown bear and Glouton.
The Glouton is present only in strong small number. It attacks with the reindeers females and small. The loss of reindeers by the predatory ones is compensated by a compensation. In the case of Glouton, the problem is that the compensation requires to bring back the identification of the animal, range to the ear, whereas gloutons them tear off the head of the reindeer, making more difficult the justification of the loss.

The Pygargue with white tail also presents a population of approximately 100 couples.
Other animals are the Arctic Lièvre, the Arctic Renard and the Lemming S.
The Lynx and the Wolf are protected whereas the alpine Lagopède and the Lagopède from the willows, " partridge of the neiges" with the white plumage and the black tail the winter, chestnut the summer, are driven out for their meat.
