Thanks for the info & link. In Canada, I've heard people call them arctic and/or woodland.

Weights of adult bulls average 350-400 pounds (159-182 kg). However, weights of 700 pounds (318 kg) have been recorded. Mature females average 175-225 pounds (80-120 kg). Caribou in northern and southwestern Alaska are generally smaller than caribou in the Interior and in southern parts of the state.

Thats pretty interesting, I always thought they were larger than that.

When you get up here, I'll take you to the reindeer farm in Palmer. You can feed them out of your hands.
