Scotland's Cairngorms National Park may seem empty at first glance, but all sorts of wildlife hides amongst the snow. What intrigues you the most about this frozen tundra?

[@berlyvbosque]

Beautiful! I love traveling to Scotland. Such a beautiful country.

[@salissak.8925]

I love it!!

[@mohammedhassanakbari6722]

You should have also shown, Bears, wolves, Ptarmigans, Musk Ox as well as the backdrop of Milky way and Auroras as well.

[@mohammedhassanakbari6722]

Well if they are not found there, then you can always introduce them along with Snow Leopards and Lynx as well as Yak and Mountain Goats as well as Wild horses and Llamas and VIcunas. It would look more interesting.

[@mohammedhassanakbari6722]

Well haven't you heard of Pleistocene Rewilding ?
At least I am not bringing Harmful Big Cats or Elephants and Rhinos.

[@AzlianaLyana]

No narratives necessary. Yet so many unspoken words delivered. What a breathtaking video. Really well made. Thanks for sharing with us, National Geographic.

[@zeno9908]

Keith Donald no that is a lie. Wild Bears went extinct in Scotland in the 10th century. Wolves went extinct in Scotland in the 19th century.

I'm thinking those caribou-like animals might need a tad more calcium in their diets. Those antlers seem alarmingly thin.
