You can see caribou in two dioramas in the Museum's Hall of North American Mammals. One is the woodland caribou, the subspecies that lives in the Selkirk range , northern British Columbia, and the Yukon. The other caribou diorama displays Grant's caribou, which lives on the Alaskan Peninsula. This subspecies is not listed as Endangered.
Reindeer are semi-domesticated caribou.
They live in Russia, Finland, and northern Scandinavia. The Caribou's Decline Caribou once ranged across most of the northern hemisphere.

As human populations have grown, our activities have had a profound effect on the caribou.
