Caribou

(disambiguation)

Although they are called by different names in North America, wild caribou and domestic reindeer are considered to be a single species throughout the world. During the great Ice Age caribou were members of the remarkable array of large mammals. Many Ice Age animals are extinct; others live only in more southerly regions. Caribou have persisted, but like other surviving ungulates (bison, elk, muskox) they are much smaller than during the last glacial period.

Wildlife artist Kathie Miller has captured the spirit of the caribou with the airbrush.
