I’m Neevee the Caribou. I’m friendly. I enjoy the company of others. I travel in a great herd of thousands of my friends. We all get along very well together. I’m considerate of others and I have many qualities that set me apart and make me very special. I have a thick fur coat that allows me to stand on the tundra when a strong, cold wind is blowing and it’s -35ºC. I have sturdy bones that help me walk hundreds of miles every year when I journey across the North and back again. 1, record 5, English, - Neevee%20the%20Caribou

Je suis Neevee la Caribou. D'abord, j'aime ça avoir beaucoup de monde autour de moi. Je suis habituée : je voyage souvent avec des milliers d'autres caribous et ils me trouvent tous très gentille. Et puis nous autres les caribous, on est comme les oiseaux. Quand l'hiver arrive et que la neige recouvre la toundra, on descend plus au sud, là où on peut trouver quelque chose à manger. Ça veut dire des centaines de kilomètres de route! Je vous dis que ça prend de bonnes jambes pour suivre le troupeau. 1, record 5, French, - Neevee%20la%20Caribou
