Venture into the Arctic and subarctic regions to discover the remarkable caribou, a majestic large herbivore known by the common name reindeer. Scientifically classified as Rangifer tarandus, this magnificent animal is the only deer species where both males and females typically grow antlers, a distinguishing feature that highlights their unique biology. Found across the northern circumpolar regions of the world, from Alaska and Canada to Scandinavia and Siberia, these hardy creatures are a true icon of the cold northern landscapes. As a migratory animal, the caribou is famous for undertaking some of the longest overland migrations of any mammal, traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles between their winter and summer feeding grounds. These massive caribou migrations are a breathtaking spectacle, with herds numbering in the thousands. Their wide, concave hooves are perfectly adapted for walking on snow and soft tundra, acting like natural snowshoes. The reindeer’s thick, insulated coat provides exceptional protection against the harsh winter weather, while its ability to forage for lichens and other vegetation buried under the snow is a key survival skill. The terms reindeer and caribou often refer to the same species, though caribou typically describes the wild, North American populations, while reindeer is more commonly used for the domesticated or semi-domesticated herds found in Eurasia. This northern deer species plays a vital role in its ecosystem, and understanding the caribou is essential for appreciating the delicate balance of Arctic wildlife.
