Reindeer are large deer found in cold, northerly regions in the northern hemisphere. In North America, reindeer are known as ‘caribou’.

The antlers of the male reindeer are the second-largest of all deer; only the moose’s are larger. Reindeer / caribou are the only deer species in which females have antlers.

Reindeer (caribou) in Canada make the longest migration of any (non-flying) land animal. In a single year they can travel as far as 3,000 miles / 5,000 km.

Reindeer have become closely associated with Christmas since the early nineteenth century. In the traditional festive legend, Santa Claus’s sleigh is pulled by a team of nine reindeer: Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donner, Prancer, V***n, and Rudolph, the ‘red-nosed reindeer’.
