The article says "fructose lichen". I'm no expert, but is that a typo for "fruticose lichen"?

[edit] Cratering

From Reindeer#Anatomy:

[Cold-weather retraction of reindeer footpads] also enables them to dig down (an activity known as "cratering")[4][5] through the snow to their favorite food, a lichen known as reindeer moss.

Cratering is a Rdr, presently to Reindeer (but i'm at least retargetting it to the above section), and Crater is a Dab that presently lks to the Rdr.

I'm not satisfied that cratering by reindeer justifies "cratering" as a route to this trivial snippet of info, which appears to be as much as we should say on the subject.
