Fig. 2.

Sheep and reindeer visiting the same mineral lick site in Nordfjella zone 2 in 2018. The two pictures were taken by a camera trap four hours apart. At the mineral lick sites, the animals lick the salt stone and other surfaces, as well as ingesting soil, and grazing. They are consequently exposed to saliva, urine, and feces from previous visitors. The fences were supposed to keep reindeer and other cervids outside the salt lick site, while allowing sheep to crawl through the 40 cm × 53, 5 cm openings. This did not work as planned and the openings were subsequently closed later that same year
