Forty words for the deer of the far north: reindeer and caribou, their antlers and wide hooves, the tundra and lichen they live on, the Sami herders of Lapland, and the team that pulls Santa's sleigh, from Dasher and Dancer to Comet, Cupid and Blitzen, with Rudolph and his nose in front.

Reindeer and caribou are the same species; reindeer is the name in Europe and Asia, where many herds are kept, and caribou in North America, where most are wild. They are the only deer in which females grow antlers too. Males lose theirs in early winter, while females keep them until spring, so a reindeer with antlers in late December is most likely a female. Their hooves grow soft pads in summer and hard, sharp rims in winter for gripping ice.

Their main winter food is a lichen often called reindeer moss, dug out from under the snow. Some herds in Alaska and Canada walk thousands of miles a year, the longest land migration of any animal. Even their eyes change with the seasons, from gold in the bright summer to deep blue in the long polar night, which helps them see in the dark.
