Also known as Caribou in North America, the reindeer is a hardy and charismatic species that inhabits the northern reaches of the planet. Although there are several different sub-species of Reindeer, they are all superbly adapted to life in the extreme conditions of the north. The Reindeer’s coat is made up of a thick, woolly under layer and an over coat of stiff, tubular hairs which trap a layer of insulating air. Throughout the summer months, the Reindeer will moult this thick fur, leaving them with a thin base coat.
