Known as caribou in North America, the reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) is a charismatic and hardy species that inhabits the northern reaches of the planet. While the reindeer may occur as a number of different subspecies throughout its range, all are superbly adapted to a life in the extreme conditions of the north.
Description. Caribou are usually clove-brown with a white neck, rump and feet, and often have a white flank stripe. They are the only members of the deer family in which both sexes grow antlers. Antlers of adult bulls are large while those of adult cows are much shorter and are usually more slender and irregular.
