Their large antlers can be colored in rich browns or light tans, and their noses and hooves can be shaded with darker colors like black or deep gray.

What is a Caribou?

The caribou, also known as reindeer in some parts of the world, is a large member of the deer family found in the Arctic tundra and boreal forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. Both male and female caribou grow antlers, which is unique among deer species. These antlers can be quite large and are shed and regrown each year.

Caribou have thick, insulating fur that helps them survive in cold environments. Their fur consists of a dense undercoat and a longer overcoat of hollow hairs that trap air for warmth. They also have large, wide hooves that act like snowshoes, allowing them to walk on snow and soft ground without sinking.

These animals are known for their incredible migrations, traveling up to 3,000 miles annually in search of food and breeding grounds. They primarily feed on lichens, grasses, and other vegetation. In the wild, caribou can live up to 15 years, while those in captivity may live up to 20 years. Their adaptations make them well-suited to the harsh climates they inhabit.
