Peary Caribou

The peary caribou are an endangered species in the northern part of canada. They are in the deer famiy. The peary Caribou is a large caribou, they have both large feet and a large head. Both male and females have antlers.
The peary caribou have been endangered since 1979. These lovely creatures are endangered because of the short suply of food in the winter months, and the inuit hunt them. Although they are endangered, the caribou and their land are not protected by the law, therefore making them volnerable for extinction.
The peary caribou like to live on ground with shallow snow or ice. In the summer they go places with lots of plants. In the winter they eat twigs because everything else is frozen. They are being starved.
Because these animals are unprotected and becoming extinct, we must save them now!

  2. I think that the only way to save them is to protect their habitat.

    By the way, caribou taste a lot like deer.
