The Arctic deer, also known as the reindeer, is a majestic animal found in the northernmost parts of the world. Synonyms for this type of deer include caribou, woodland caribou, tundra caribou, and barren-ground caribou. These types of deer are known for their iconic antlers which grow up to 4 feet long and are shed and regrown each year. They are also known for their adaptation to the harsh arctic climate, with thick fur coats and specialized hooves that allow them to dig through snow and ice. These deer have a significant cultural importance to indigenous communities, being used for food, clothing, and transportation.
