The Cervinae or the Old World deer, are a subfamily of deer. Alternatively, they are known as the plesiometacarpal deer, due to having lost the parts of the second and fifth metacarpal bones closest to the foot (though retaining the parts away from the foot), distinct from the telemetacarpal deer of the Capreolinae (which have instead retained these parts of those metacarpals, while losing the parts away from the foot instead).[1]

Police have captured a reindeer and delivered it to the Korkeasaari zoo to recover.

The capture was supervised by a veterinarian at the Korkeasaari Zoo.

The vet also made sure the animal was indeed a reindeer, not a Finnish forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus)...

However, the veterinarian will carry out further examinations of the reindeer to confirm the subspecies, as it is a calf born last year and because the young calf does not show the characteristics of the species well.

EDIT:

A DNA sample has been taken from the animal and submitted for examination!

There is no information about the owner of the reindeer and the Finnish Forest Reindeer residential areas are far to the north.

Edit:

DNA test to decide future of Helsinki's young roaming reindeer

The reindeer was taken to the zoo's wildlife hospital after being caught by police on Saturday. The animal had shown severe stress symptoms but on Sunday morning the hospital said the young reindeer survived the night, was on its feet and had eaten.

He is a young male reindeer, but the authorities do not yet know his subspecies ...

He has no ear marks! According to Finnish law, a reindeer owned by someone must have ear marks that indicate the owner.
