Text, Questions & Answers

Reindeer, also known as caribou in North America, are amazing creatures that live in the cold regions of the Arctic. These strong animals have large antlers, broad hooves, and a thick coat of fur to keep them warm in freezing temperatures. Reindeer are herbivores, which means they eat plants. In winter, they use their sharp hooves to dig through the snow and find lichen, a type of plant that grows on rocks and trees. Did you know that reindeer are important in many cultures? For example, in the story of Santa Claus, reindeer pull his sleigh to deliver gifts. In Scandinavia, the Sami people rely on reindeer for their way of life. Reindeer are a wonderful example of how animals adapt to their environment. Next time you see a picture of a reindeer, remember how strong and incredible they are!
