Reindeer
F ew animals live in the freezing Arctic, but for
reindeer this world of ice and snow is home. They
roam in restless herds that are always on the move, making long
journeys called migrations to find fresh plants to eat. People have
tamed reindeer in Russia and northern Europe. The tough animals
pull sleighs and are kept for their meat and skins. Reindeer in
North America are called caribou. These creatures are wilder
and more afraid of humans.
Reindeer have wide feet that stop them from sinking when
they crunch across the snow. You can hear them coming,
as their feet make a loud clicking noise when they walk.
