Caribou Moss: The camel of moss. It can go a long time without water. They can grow dry, without any water at all, and go dormant while there is no water or sufficient light. Like other types of moss, it grows on rocks or the ground. Caribou moss looks like a foamy, greenish spongy mass, which only grows to 1-4 inches high. Fun fact, Caribou Moss is actually a lichen.
