Nice. 👍🏽

Caribou and reindeer are actually the same species, scientifically known as Rangifer tarandus.

The terms differ based on geography and domestication.

Donner & Blitzen survived the intital missile attack, but #Kegseth had #NORAD re-target the still-living reindeer, simply clinging to the sleigh for survival. My thoughts and prayers to Santa, the surviving elves who are sure to be deported, their families, & all magical, flying Rangifer tarandus.

That beast didn’t have unshiny nostrils!

Interesting maps!
By the way, technically, the deer found on the North American map of "Quebeeq" are caribou, which are related to the reindeer of Asia and Europe. Both are species of the family Cervidae and look very similar.
There are differences listed below.

Figured, why not, since Christmas is coming up, to talk about Reindeer! Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), also referred to as Caribou, belong to Family Cervidae and can be found in Tundras and boreal forests in Greenland, Alaska, Canada, and other areas. 1/3

"So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly"

Give me a tranquilizer gun and a trebuchet, and we'll see about that.

We got to meet a team of familiar Rangifer this weekend!

(Line was insanely long so I only had time to get these photos, but we did get to see the whole team including Rudolph.)

So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL.

For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter.

Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

Reno = caribú

En general, se les llama renos en Norteamérica y caribúes en Europa, pero se trata de la misma especie (𝘙𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴).

Hay subespecies que varían ligeramente de acuerdo a su distribución geográfica, pero todos son la misma especie.
