Description: The woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is a distinct subspecies from the more numerous barren ground caribou. It lives in the boreal forests south of the tundra and is less likely to migrate over large distances. It is also darker in color than other subspecies of caribou.

Woodland caribou prefer mature coniferous forests as habitat. This type of forest produces adequate amounts of ground and tree lichen that the caribou depend upon for food. The ratio of lichen in the diet varies with the time of year: up to 70% of the winter diet may be composed of lichens while the summer diet may only be 25-30% lichen. The balance of the diet is composed of grasses and shrubs.
