Caribou
01 ____Large hoofed animals belonging to the deer family, caribou and reindeer are actually the
02 same species — Rangifer tarandus. There are differences between caribou and reindeer though.
03 Caribou are native to North America, whereas reindeer are native to northern Europe and Asia.
04 Alaska does have some reindeer, however, imported from Siberia in the late 19th and early 20th
05 centuries.
06 ____Some people use the term "reindeer" to refer to domesticated work animals, such as those
07 pulling Santa's sleigh, but there are both wild and domestic herds of reindeer. Caribou, on the
08 other hand, are wild-living and long-migrating. Indigenous groups herd reindeer and use them for
09 their meat. That's also likely why reindeer evolved to be stockier than caribou.
10 ____Caribou make one of the world's great large-animal migrations. As summer approaches,
11 they head north along well-trod annual routes. Some herds may travel more than 600 miles to
12 get to their summer grazing grounds. They'll spend the summer months feeding on the abundant
13 grasses and plants of the tundra. This is also when they give birth. When the first snows fall each
14 year, the caribou turn back south. Herds of female caribou, called cows, leave several weeks
15 before the males, which follow with yearling calves from the previous birthing season.
16 ____They are taller and lankier than reindeer, likely because they evolved to make these long
17 migrations. They are the only deer in which males and females both have antlers—though only
18 some females have them. Cows have one calf each year, which can stand after only a few minutes
19 and move on with its mother by the next day.
20 ____Caribou are classified as vulnerable to extinction, one step above endangered. Because
21 they're migratory, changes in the landscape, such as the appearance of new fences or other
22 human development on their migration routes, can be especially disruptive. Climate change is
23 also a threat. As the Arctic warms, they become more susceptible to diseases and parasites,
24 which could quickly spread through a herd.

markers and coloring books to practice these skills.
10 Elderly patients can use virtual assistants, like
Alexa or Siri, to control their environment without having
to get up or ask others for help. While teaching patients
