Caribou use their antlers primarily for foraging and competition during mating season. Males use their large, branched antlers to establish dominance and compete for mates by engaging in physical confrontations with other males. Both genders also use their antlers to help dig through snow to access food, such as lichens, during winter months. Additionally, antlers serve as a display feature, signaling health and vitality to potential mates.
