CARIBOU

---

Caribou are found in North America, and are the same species as the European reindeer. Both reindeer and caribou travel south in the autumn, and north in the spring.	Barren Ground caribou are native to the tundra regions of Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. They usually live in small herds of cows and calves and a few bulls.
Their staple diet is lichens.	Woodland caribou are darker and stockier than Barren Ground caribou and have heavier antlers. They have been exterminated in most parts of the United States.
