*** About Caribou: Caribou, also known as reindeer in Europe, plays a pivotal role in the ecosystems of northern climes and holds significant cultural importance for various indigenous groups across North America, particularly in Canada. Adapted to cold environments, caribou have unique features such as large hooves that act like natural snowshoes and a coat that insulates against frigid temperatures. These animals are not only vital to the biodiversity of their habitats but are also deeply ingrained in the subsistence, culture, and traditions of indigenous communities, featuring prominently in tales, dances, and ceremonial life.
