Theories to explain migration involve food, predation, insects, and weather. Migration opens up a larger and more variable food supply. It allows caribou to calve and raise their young away from most wolves that den near the forest-tundra border. It allows them to avoid some of the biting insects and parasites that have an insect stage in their cycle. Finally, it permits them to summer in a relatively cool location and to secure abundant lichens under snow in forested areas in winter.

Soon after birth, the caribou calf and its mother develop a strong bond. They try to stay close to each other, and they can recognize each other by smell and by the sounds they make. This is important because the caribou calves are fast runners within hours of their birth. When caribou migrate, the calves run with their mothers. If they become separated, the mother searches for many hours to find her calf. See similar questions...

Caribou herds migrate different distances. Large herds are more apt to migrate long distances, while smaller herds often migrate shorter distances. For example, the Porcupine caribou herd, which contains about 123,000 animals, migrates between summer and winter ranges that are about 400 miles apart. The Central Arctic herd, which contains about 27,000 animals, migrates between summer and winter ranges that are about 120 miles apart. See similar questions...

It is quite common to find situations where caribou are reluctant to cross roads, berms, pipelines and other related obstacles. Being terrestrial migrators, caribou must deal with what ever is placed on the land by human development (birds are able to fly over most human structures and continue their migratory habits). Researchers have learned* there are many factors (traffic levels, time of year, degree of visual obstruction, reproductive status, etc. See similar questions...

Based on several years' observation of satellite-collared animals of the Porcupine Caribou herd, caribou do not migrate the same distance each year. This is because they often use different portions of their winter range from year to year. (By using this strategy, caribou are able to eat winter food over a wide area, which reduces the possibility of eating up all the available food in any one area. See similar questions...

Certain weather conditions, such as the first severe storm in the fall, stimulate caribou to migrate toward their winter ranges. After the calves are born in the spring, all the caribou in the herd come together on the summer range. For large herds such as the Porcupine Caribou herd in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the caribou must keep moving so they don't eat all the available food. See similar questions...

Caribou and reindeer are the same species (Rangifer tarandus). Reindeer are a domesticated variety of caribou that are herded by humans and used for pulling sleds. Most reindeer occur in Scandinavia and Siberia. They generally are smaller and have shorter legs than their wild relatives. In Siberia, caribou are referred to as "wild" reindeer. Caribou are found in Alaska and Canada. Caribou used to live in Maine and the northern Great Lakes states, but they are no longer found in those areas. See similar questions...

Migrating to a new platform has now become a real option for the cutting-edge CIO. It will avoid the risk of an aging system failing at an inopportune moment and the retirement of the only guy who knows how the system truly works! SML is the crucial piece of the migration jigsaw; shining a light into the dark depths of Assembler code and converting it into something useable, in a measurable, iterative process, without having to shut down the system or rebuild it from scratch.(Up) See similar questions...

They eat lichens, especially in winter when other plants are not available. They also feed on the branches of dwarf willow and birch, and on grasses and sedges. In autumn, they eat fungi (mushrooms) as well. See similar questions...

They occur in arctic, sub-arctic, and some temperate regions around the globe. Caribou, the oldest species of the deer family, are known as reindeer elsewhere. Their Latin name is Rangifer tarandus. In northern Canada, Alaska and Scandinavia, reindeer are domesticated animals. In Siberia, they are both wild and domesticated. They are smaller than caribou and have shorter legs. Peary caribou (R.

American Crows can be considered partially migratory. That is, some populations migrate, others are resident, and in others only some of the crows migrate. Crows in the southern parts of their range appear to be resident and not migrate. They may make some changes in their use of space at this time, spending more time off the territory to forage and roost. Crows migrate out of the northern most parts of their range.
