The domesticated caribou is called the reindeer. Reindeer have been herded and utilized by various Arctic and Subarctic indigenous peoples for centuries, primarily for their meat, hides, and milk. They are well adapted to cold environments and are known for their unique antler growth, which varies between males and females. Reindeer also play a significant cultural role in the traditions and folklore of many northern communities.
