Interesting Facts About the Reindeer
Reindeer (caribou) fur ranges widely in color, based on the subspecies in question. Some fur can be nearly white, while other subspecies have fur that is quite dark. Because caribou live in incredibly cold habitats, they sport an insulated double coat. This coat has long, hollow guard hairs, as well as shorter soft under-fur to keep the animal warm. They also frequently sport large antlers, and, generally speaking, larger and older deer have larger and heavier antlers.
