Caribou and reindeer have a varied diet during the summer, where they consume nearly all kinds of vascular plants. In the winter, they mainly eat lichens. Lichens look like small, crusty pieces of moss, but they are actually a symbiotic organism of a fungus and a green algae. Note that symbiotic means that each relies on the other to live.

Reindeer love carrots and other greens but they also love pieces of apple with the skin still on. They also eat berries like bearberry, which looks similar like cranberry but, lichens are is their favourite.

They eat grass, tunder, lichens and plants. Reindeer eat 12 pounds a day! If the plants are coverd with snow they will shovel or dig with their hoofs.

In late summer they eat mushrooms. Also Lichens, reindeer moss, arctic char (a type of fish) and the leaves off willow and birch trees.
