Description: If you watch the Christmas cartoons, such one of them, is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and you know that Rudolph's kinfold are the reindeer. Reindeer are also known as Caribou in the Americas. Males and females have antlers, but like cattle, females don't use their antlers to fight. Even though they are classified as vulnerable species, but the reindeer are much common to migrate in the Arctic, along within the muskoxen. The reindeer are semi-domesticated, and others are not. They have a few natural predators, like polar(Ursus maritimus), brown(Ursus arctos), and grizzly bears(Ursus horribilis), wolves, wolverines, eagles, and sharks.
