　　(2017·湖北省天门中学元月质检)

　　Heavy snowfall and chilling temperatures of －30℃ do not stop criminals in northern Russia.

　　Now police trying to maintain law in the region are struggling on their snowmobiles and want to use reindeer to combat crime on the bleak tundra(阴冷的冻土地带)．

　　They say that that mammals are more reliable than their machines and can run fast on deep snow thanks to their adaptable hooves.

　　Some areas of the country's Arctic region are only accessible by reindeer and the lzvestia newspaper has reported that a gang of Siberia's indigenous(本土的) people are using reindeer to make a speedy get away from crime scenes, leaving police on snowmobiles behind.

　　Russian police chasing the criminals told the newspaper that their snowmobiles can break down and run out of gas—unlike reindeer.

　　Irina Pimkina from the region's Interior said：“Of course we have snowmobiles in service, but one should understand that a machine is a machine.” “A snowmobile can break down or get stuck in the tundra, but the deer will run at all times.”

　　The force believes that the animals will give them an edge in policing the remote area and they have been asking for reindeer recruits for two years.

　　Reindeer's hooves are unique because they adapt to seasonal weather conditions, Mother Nature Network reported.
