This origin is appropriate; the caribou are rugged survivors, forged by icy terrain and windswept snow, enduring some of the coldest and harshest environments on the planet. Illustrated with exquisite photographs by famed wilderness photographer and writer Mark Raycroft, \u003ci\u003eCaribou: Wind Walkers of the Northern Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates this fascinating and breathtaking animal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Calling tundra and boreal forests their home, there are over 2.5 million caribou worldwide with 15 subspecies, the largest of which is the boreal woodland caribou, found in Alaska and the north of Canada. Revered, hunted and domesticated by cultures across the globe for thousands of years, caribou (also known as reindeer) migrate farther than any other land mammal in search of food, with some having been documented traveling 700 kilometers. With its towering antlers, weather-resistant coat of fur and ability to forage lichen and fungi buried deep beneath the ice and snow, the caribou are an awe-inspiring symbol of perseverance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapters include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e In the Company of Caribou\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Role of Antlers \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e A Brief History of the Species\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Rut \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Caribou Ecology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Conservation and the Future \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Migration and Range\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Photographing Caribou. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eCaribou: Wind Walkers of the Northern Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e is perfect for lovers of nature photography and those who wish to get personally acquainted with one of this world's most hardy and fascinating creatures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Mark Raycroft is a professional wildlife photographer and biologist based in Ontario, Canada.
