Origin:
The Arctic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) is a subspecies of the polar reindeer that inhabits mainly the Greenland and Arctic regions. It is adapted to life in extremely cold conditions, where it must face not only cold temperatures, but also long winters and short summers.

Specifics:
Appearance: The Arctic reindeer has a robust body with a thick coat that is white or gray in winter to better camouflage itself in snowy environments. The coat is covered with water-repellent hairs that help maintain body temperature. Both sexes have antlers, with males having larger and more robust antlers that can be up to 1 meter long.
Size: The Arctic reindeer is medium-sized. The body length is 150–200 cm, the height at the withers is 85–150 cm, and the weight ranges from 90 to 250 kg. Females are generally smaller than males.
Behavior: They are herd animals that move in groups of several dozen to thousands of individuals. They have a very strong instinct to migrate, traveling long distances in search of food and suitable conditions.

Interesting facts:
Adaptation to the cold: The Arctic reindeer is very well adapted to the extreme Arctic conditions, with a double layer of fur - the undercoat is soft and warm, while the outer coat is long and water-repellent.
Significant migrations: The Arctic reindeer makes long migrations, often up to 5,000 km. These migrations are essential for survival, as they search for new pastures for their food.
Vision and hearing: This reindeer has excellent vision and hearing, which are adapted to finding food and protecting themselves from predators even in low light conditions.
Cultural importance: The Arctic reindeer is very important to the indigenous Arctic peoples, who use it for hunting, for its meat, skin, milk and antlers. Domesticated reindeer are also often used for sledding in these areas.
Occurrence:
The Arctic reindeer is mainly found in Greenland and some Arctic regions of Canada and Alaska. This subspecies is adapted to life in the tundra and Arctic landscape, where it survives in extremely cold conditions, often below −40 °C.

Arctic reindeer hunting:
The hunting of Arctic reindeer is regulated in many areas to ensure sustainable hunting and conservation of the species. In some areas, hunting is permitted under strict quotas to prevent excessive population extinction. In traditional northern cultures, reindeer hunting is important for the survival of local communities, with all parts of the animal being used.
