Caribou
Caribou are the cervids of the Far North, most notably of Canada and Alaska. Also known as reindeer in Europe and northern Asia, these migratory members of the deer family make their home on the Tundra during the brief summer and the sub-Arctic boreal forests during the winter.

How many times will a buck breed with one doe during rut?
Buck rabbits can breed for year after year. It might be good to sell the male or female rabbit if you do not want them to keep breeding, Or keep each rabbit in seperate cages. Another chice is that you can get your rabbit fixed.
Deer strip bark from trees in the winter, because their food sources are all gone.
Sika deer, like most deer, are herbivorous, and primarily graze on grass and leaves. The Sika live in the mountains so they have been known to eat shrubs such as holly, and bilberry. They will also strip the bark off trees in the winter time, when food is scarce.
Hooved stock, such as deer, generally walk within moments of being born.
How do caribou grasses adapt to the tundra?
The reindeer, also known as the caribou when wild in North America, is an Arctic and Subarctic-dwelling deer, widespread and numerous across the Arctic and Subarctic.
The reindeer is a widespread and numerous species in the Holarctic. Originally, the reindeer was found inScandinavia, Eastern Europe, Russia, Mongolia, and northern China north of the 50th latitude. In North America, it was found in Canada, Alaska (USA), and the northern conterminous USA from Washington to Maine. In the 19th century, it was apparently still present in southern Idaho. It also occurred naturally onSakhalin, Greenland, and probably even in historical times in Ireland. During the late Pleistocene era, reindeer were found as far south as Nevada andTennessee in North America and Spain in Europe.[2][3] Today, wild reindeer have disappeared from many areas within this large historical range, especially from the southern parts, where it vanished almost everywhere. Large populations of wild reindeer are still found in Norway, Siberia,Greenland, Alaska, and Canada, with a singular herd of approximately 50 Reindeer living around the Cairngorms region in Scotland.
Domesticated reindeer are mostly found in northern Fennoscandia, Russia, and Iceland (where they were introduced by humans in the 18th century). The last remaining wild reindeer in Europe are found in portions of southern Norway.[4] The southern boundary of the species' natural range is approximately at 62° north latitude.
A few reindeer from Norway were introduced to the South Atlantic island of South Georgia in the beginning of the 20th century. Today, there are two distinct herds still thriving there, permanently separated by glaciers. Their total numbers are no more than a few thousand. The flag and the coat of arms of the territory contain an image of a reindeer. Around 4000 reindeer have been introduced into the French sub-Antarctic archipelago of Kerguelen Islands.
Caribou and reindeer numbers have fluctuated historically, but many herds are in decline across their range [5]. This global decline is linked to climate change for northern, migratory caribou and reindeer herds and industrial disturbance of caribou habitat for sedentary, non-migratory herds [6]
The key deer are exactly like white tailed deer everywhere, only much smaller. They evolved to be small because of their island habitat, where food is limited and cannot support large herbivores.
What is the whitetail deer rut dates in Washington state?

Does a raccoon run faster than a deer?
They're of the same speed. A Thomson gazelle runs 50 Miles per hour; a lion can run 50 miles per hour... a pronghorn antelope is even faster it can speed up to 61 miles per hour... what makes a deer twist as it runs is its lack of confidence. It wants to spot the lion as it hopes to avoid it. Its fear of being eaten though it has the same potential if not even greater makes it easier for the lion!
What is he best handgun to put down a deer?
The safest gear for deer hunting includes bright colored, generally orange clothing. This helps to increase visibility of hunters so others may see more easily. Having a safety feature on a gun is also an option that helps reduce accidental firing of rifles.

When will the whitetail deer rut start in MS?
After all my years of hunting in MS. The rut seems to typically start the last two weeks of december. It kinda depends on factors like weather and geography. Ive had alot of time in the woods lately and have already seen small bucks chasing does. Maybe a early rut? Hope it helps
The absolute number one way to find out when the rut is happening in your area(because they dont all happen at one same time all over the state-usually start up north first) is to check with your local taxidermist. I live in central Ms. and my taxidermist friend says he always gets the majority of his bucks the week before Christmas and the week after. Granted, more people are off work and hunting more during these times, but my hunting experiences here have proven to me over the years that thats when the rut is the hottest here.
Are moose and horses from same family?
In Europe the name elk refers to the same animal as the North American animal called a moose. Both of these are common names for the scientific name 'Alces alces'. In North America, however, the common names elk and moose are two different species. Moose, as explained above, are 'Alces alces', while elk are 'Cervus canadensis'. Another name for 'Cervus canadensis' is wapiti. Both 'Alces alces' and 'Cervus canadensis' belong to the 'cervidae' or deer family.
