Le caribou, un très vieux membre de la famille des cervidés, est l'un des gros mammifères les plus largement répandus au Canada. [...] Le pelage du caribou des bois est surtout brun en été (plus gris en hiver), mais le cou, la crinière, la bande du bas des épaules, le ventre, le dessous de la queue ainsi qu'une touffe au dessus de chacun des sabots sont blanc crème. [...] Les bois du caribou des bois sont aplatis, complexes et compacts par comparaison avec ceux du caribou de la toundra. 3, record 1, French, - caribou%20des%20bois
