WABS Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Caribou or Reindeer You know I'd heard that as well, that Reindeer were the domesticated version. However, on some outdoor channel the other day they said that they are called Caribou in North America and Reindeer everywhere else. Can't verify either definition, however both sound plausible.

fisherguy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: Caribou or Reindeer North america they are caribou, in northern europe, russia etc, they are called reindeer. Same animal, different name. They do have domesticated herds in northern europe, but even the wild ones they call reindeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
