Oslo, Aug 30 (IBNS) : More than 300 wild reindeer were recently killed by lightning at a Norwegian national park, National Geographic said quoting officials.

Seventy of the dead animals were calves-all seeminglky fell over where they stood in the grasses of Hardangervidda, the largest high mountain plateau in northern Europe.

The national park, the largest in Norway with wild reindeer populations spreads over 8,000 square kilometers (3,088 square miles) and is home to 10,000 to 11,000 wild reindeer.

While specifics on the lightning strike are still unknown,  it’s likely that the dead reindeer were a herd that huddled together to weather a severe thunderstorm that rolled through the area on Friday, National Geographic said.
