Caribou

Caribou, commonly known as reindeer, are in the top half of animals with the largest antlers on the planet. Although numerous populations are listed as threatened by the IUCN, they may be found in North America, northern Europe, and Siberia. The majority of caribou live in herds, and while some move, others stay put all year. Their coat is normally gray-brown in color, with a longer mane around the neck.

The boreal woodland caribou is the biggest of the caribou subspecies, with the boreal woodland caribou being the smallest. Antlers are produced by both male and female caribou, albeit the size and presence of antlers varies by subspecies. The antlers are covered in a thick velvet that comes off once they cease growing. Caribou have the greatest antlers in proportion to their body size of any deer species. Their antlers may grow up to 39 inches in length and 39 inches in width when fully grown.
