*** About Caribou: The caribou, also known as reindeer in some parts of the world, is a species found in the northern regions of North America, including Canada. This adaptable animal is crucial to the indigenous cultures and ecosystems. Known for their migrations, caribou travel up to 5,000 kilometers a year, the longest of any terrestrial mammal. Their diet mostly consists of lichens in winter, with a shift to a more varied diet of plants and fungi in the summer. Caribou have been closely linked with the human inhabitants of these regions for centuries, both as a source of material goods and spiritual inspiration. Conservation efforts are in place to help maintain their populations, which face threats from habitat loss and climate change.
