*** About Caribou: Caribou, also known as reindeer in some parts of the world, are native to the arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions. These creatures are integral to the ecosystems where they live, migrating across vast landscapes in some of the world's most challenging climates. Notably adaptive, caribou have unique features like large hooves that support them in snowy environments and a fur that insulates against harsh temperatures. Their migrations are among the greatest of any terrestrial mammal, affected significantly by environmental changes, which makes them an important indicator species for understanding ecological shifts.:
