Animal Facts
There are 12 living subspecies of reindeer and 2 extinct subspecies. Different subspecies live in different geographical areas and environments, and also look slightly different.
The North American reindeer (caribou) migrates up to 5000km, the furthest of any land mammal.
Reindeer are the only species of deer where both males and females grow antlers (although in some reindeer subspecies, the females have lost their antlers).
Reindeer shed their antlers every year so new ones can grow. Males shed their antlers at the end of the mating season and females shed theirs after they have given birth.
The most mature and dominant reindeer stags have the largest antlers.
