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.
From the past to the present, Inuit have worn caribou and seal skin clothing. These durable and easily available materials have allowed them to survive in a climate that defeated most others. Caribou were an important food for the Caribou Inuit, and remain so today.Caribou were also highly valued for their hides.Caribou skin was used for clothing, for summer tents, for roofs on snow houses in spring, to cover the sleeping bench, and to form a cushion or base on the qamutik (sled).aribou were an important food for the Caribou Inuit, and remain so today.
