Reindeer and CARIBOU are the same species; Europe uses one name and North America the other. Both grow ANTLERS covered in VELVET that they rub off each autumn, and both walk on splayed HOOVES that work like snowshoes. The rest of this word puzzle comes from the same two worlds the animal lives in: the LICHEN and the HERD on the TUNDRA, the SLEIGH and the HARNESS in the story.
Frequently asked questions
Do female reindeer have ANTLERS?
Yes, and they keep them through winter while males shed theirs in autumn, which is why every reindeer pulling a sleigh in December would have to be female.
What do reindeer eat on the TUNDRA?
Mostly LICHEN, which they dig out from under snow with their hooves. It is one of the few things growing up there in winter.
