All About Reindeer or Caribou for Kids: Reindeer Facts and Information for Children - FreeSchool

Reindeer (or caribou, as they are known in North America) can be found in arctic and subarctic regions all around the world. They are a fascinating species of deer, with many useful adaptations to help them survive in the cold. Their special, double-layered fur coat and hooves that change with the seasons are just two examples. Reindeer are the only kind of deer in which both males and females grow antlers. They are also the only type of deer to be domesticated.
