3 comments:

  1. The caribou lives in the Boreal Forest. They have survived for a long time in the cold temperatures. The caribou likes to eat linchens in the winter, which they need to eat about 3kg each day. It has a short tail and small ears. The average body temperature of 105 degrees Farenhite. They have long legs, but the veins and arteries run close together and the warm blood pumping from the heart keeps the blood in the veins warm. The hooves are in a cresent shaspe to help support the caribou's legs. The caribou also has two layers of fur. Their muzzles have short hair on them. They also have four chambered stomachs.
