Early Life and Education. Robert Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight, England on July 28, 1635. His parents were John Hooke and Cecily Gyles. He was the youngest of their four children. For a large part of his childhood, and whole life, Robert Hookeâs health was delicate. He spent much of his school time at home. As a young boy, he impressed his clergyman father with his fine skills in drawing and his work on instruments such as clocks.
General Description. Caribou have large, concave hoofs that spread widely to support the animal in snow and soft tundra. The feet also function as paddles when caribou swim. Caribou are the only member of the deer family (Cervidae) in which both sexes grow antlers.
By February, all the caribou have lost their antlers. The Woodland Caribouâs coat is mostly brown in summer (more grey in winter), but the neck, mane, shoulder stripe, underbelly, underside of the tail, and patch just above each hoof are creamy white.
