*************

The reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), also known as caribou in North America,^[3] is a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America.^[2] This includes both sedentary and migratorypopulations.

While overall widespread and numerous,^[2] some of its subspecies are rare and at least one has already become extinct.^[4][5] For this reason, it is considered to be vulnerable by the IUCN.

Reindeer vary considerably in colour and size. Both sexes can grow antlers annually, although the proportion of females that grow antlers varies greatly between population and season.^[6] Antlers are typically larger on males.

Hunting of wild reindeer and herding of semi-domesticated reindeer (for meat, hides, antlers, milk and transportation) are important to several Arctic and Subarctic peoples.^[7] In Lapland, reindeer pull pulks.^[8]

In traditional festive legend, Santa Claus's reindeer pull a sleigh through the night sky to help Santa Claus deliver gifts to children on Christmas Eve.

The mountain reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus), also called the Norwegian reindeer, northern reindeer or mountain caribou, is a midsize to large subspecies of reindeer that is native to the western Scandinavian Peninsula, particularly Norway. In Norway, it is called fjellrein, villrein or tundra-rein.
