There are several synonyms for the term "peary caribou". These synonyms include the Arctic caribou, the Arctic barren-ground caribou, and the Pearyland caribou. The Peary caribou is a subspecies of caribou that is found exclusively in Canada's Arctic region and is recognized for its unique physical and behavioral adaptations to extreme environments. These caribou are smaller in size than other subspecies and have thick fur and a stocky build which allows them to survive in harsh conditions. Despite being a threatened species due to climate change and human intervention, these majestic animals remain a vital part of the Arctic ecosystem and cultural heritage of many Indigenous communities in the region.
