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.

It sometimes may look like caribou are ignoring predators such as wolves or bears. Unless they are incapacitated, however, they will run from a predator who gets too close to them. There are two characteristics of caribou that may make them appear to show less than the expected amount of fear toward a predator: Caribou do not want to spend any more energy than they have to.

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...

Surprisingly, no. Anatolians tend to be "easy keepers", and an adult Anatolian will eat between 40 to 60 pounds of premium quality dog chow a month. As a puppy, an Anatolian should be fed a premium puppy food for the first year. Some breeders will use puppy food for the first 18 months, and then switch to a good adult food.

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. 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.

They will eat just about anything! There are commercial poultry foods available at local feed stores, or you can make your own mix. People feed chickens corn, oats, wheat, rye, soy, fresh greens from the garden (weeds as well), table scraps (they love spaghetti!), worms and other bugs. The local grocery stores and markets often have vegetable scraps available. Variety is the key to good health, just like us! See similar questions...
