Caribou vs Deer

对鹿和驯鹿的正确理解是适当的，可以清除或摆脱人们犯下的许多常见错误，尤其是在转介这些动物时。鹿和驯鹿是带有蹄的流行哺乳动物。但是，鹿和驯鹿之间在其地理分布，多样性和身体特征方面存在明显的差异。本文打算分别提供有关其特征的信息，并强调它们之间的差异。

Deer

鹿是一群具有某些独特特征的动物，主要是它们是hotiodactyls。在包括Muntiacus，Elaphodus，Dama，Axis，Rucervus，Cervus等的几个属中描述了60多种现存的鹿。它们自然在澳大利亚和南极洲以外的所有大陆上范围。它们的体重差异很大，但通常从30到250公斤。但是，有鹿的重量小于10公斤，近半吨重量麋鹿和老鼠。鹿是草食动物，通常是浏览器。此外，他们对饲料非常有选择性，因此它将更加营养。鹿是反刍动物，即它们有四腔胃，让食物通过特殊的消化和吸收营养物质进行。他们生活在牛群中并一起浏览，这是一种适应保护他们免受掠食者的侵害的改编，因为一个人可以注意掠食者，而其他人则在浏览，这样他们就会知道任何捕食者的存在。鹿通常具有很高的繁殖率，但只有女性为自己的小鹿提供护理。 Most of the deer antlers are long, forked, curved and pointed. These are particularly important in fighting and show-off features of males. Deer are useful in many human activities including in the game and meat hunting, indigenous medicine, and farming.

Caribou

Caribou, Rangifer tarandus, aka reindeer in North America, is a deer species living in Arctic and Subarctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. There has been a close association between caribou with humans, as they have assisted in transportation for people by pulling sleds over snow. In addition, the Christian people believe that a group of reindeers pulls the legendary Santa’s sleigh. However, there are several subspecies of caribou varying according to the geographical localities. Mainly, there are two types of caribous depending on the ecosystem that they inhabit known as tundra caribou with six subspecies and woodland caribou with three subspecies. Caribou is usually a large animal, but the body weight could vary from 90 to 210 kilograms. Height at their shoulders is almost 1.5 metres and the body length averages around two metres. Most of the caribou subspecies have antlers in both males and females. Their antlers are appealing, because of the velvety fur covering those. Moreover, caribou have the largest antlers compared to body size among all the members of the deer family. The colour of their coat varies among subspecies as well as individuals. However, Northern populations have lighter, and Southern populations are darker comparatively.

What is the difference between Deer and Caribou? • Deer are a group of animals including more than 60 extant species, while caribou is one of the deer species. However, there are about nine subspecies of caribous. •驯鹿is geographically restricted to arctic and subarctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia while deer is worldwide in distribution (except Australia and Antarctica). • Deer include small to large sized animals, while caribou is always medium to large. •许多鹿物种的女性没有鹿角，但大多数加勒伯人在两性中都有鹿角。 • The ratio of antlers to body size is highest in caribou among all the members of the deer family. • Body colouration varies in within individuals of caribous; whereas, it does not change much within individuals of one species of deer.
