RANDOM TIDBITSThe reindeer family includes caribou as well as a few smaller subspecies. In fact, reindeer and Caribou are essentially the same animal, although reindeer are domesticated and caribou are wild.
Reindeer are found in the arctic and subarctic regions of North America, Europe and Asia. Reindeer have thick, multi-layered fur that is specially suited for the harsh arctic climate where they live.
Reindeer have an excellent sense of smell. Because food is scarce in the Arctic, reindeer use their great sense of smell to detect food buried deep beneath the snow.
Male reindeer are called bulls and females are called cows. Baby reindeer are called calves. Reindeer typically have a lifespan of around 10 years.
Reindeer are the only deer species in which both the male and females grow antlers, although the males' antlers are bigger.
Reindeer shed and regrow their antlers every year. Males usually shed their antlers by early December, while females usually don't shed their antlers until after they give birth, in the spring.
