The Difference between Reindeer and Caribou






What do you do on a cold, 15 degree day in Alaska when you're homeschooling. You take a trip to a reindeer farm! At a farm on the "outside" you feed goats, here we get to feed Santa's transportation. It was fun to learn more about these animals - did you know that the only difference in a reindeer and a caribou is a fence? Oh, and of course reindeer fly! We were quite frozen by the end of it, but had a good time.

Chance fed "Rudolph". They keep him here in disguise with a white nose until Christmas Eve when Santa comes to pick him up!
