Caribou are large animals belonging to the deer family. When fully grown the males are about 6 to 8 feet tall, Female Caribou are about 4 to 6 feet tall. They weigh between 200 and 700 pounds. Both sexes grow antlers that can be up to 4 feet wide. Antlers are shed and regrow every year. Caribou have a thick brown furr to keep them warm in the arctic conditions. The males have a white mane on their chests. The caribou's fur is designed to trap air which enables them to Ford rivers more effectively during their yearly migrations . Caribou have a wide muzzle on their faces and wide hooves. The width of the hooves help them walk through the deep snow. They are excellent swimmers and runners.
