*** About Caribou: Caribou, also known as reindeer in Europe, are found in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions and are crucial to indigenous cultures for their use in transportation, clothing, and as a food source. These animals are well adapted to their cold environments, with specialized hooves that change size and depth for summer softness and winter snow. They undertake some of the animal kingdom's most extensive migrations, a testament to their endurance and the ecological roles they fulfill. Unfortunately, many caribou populations are currently facing threats from climate change, habitat loss, and human encroachment, which makes conservation efforts critically important.
