Reindeers can adapt to the harsh environment in which some of them live in is from the hair on their body and also their nose. Their feet were also designed for them to walk through deep snow. The size of their ears and tail are little, which enables less body heat to escape from them. In summer times, they shed their fur in clumps and new pairs of antlers are grown every year. Once the antlers are shed, the reindeers eat it for calcium and nutrient, thus keeping their bodies strong and healthy.

Caribou moss, also known as reindeer lichen, is a primary food source for caribou and reindeer. In addition to these animals, certain species of birds such as the Siberian tit and the willow ptarmigan also feed on caribou moss. These birds primarily consume the moss during the winter months when other food sources are scarce. Overall, caribou moss plays a crucial role in the diets of various Arctic and subarctic wildlife species.
