This is a miniature reindeer from Safari Ltd.(r). Also known as caribou in North America, reindeer are the largest deer found in the Arctic and Subarctic regions of Europe, Siberia, and North America. Reindeer are the only species of deer where both the males and females grow their own set of enormous antlers. While it was previously thought that reindeer numbers were numerous due to the fact that they inhabited many different regions, recent studies have revealed that their number is in sharp decline. In 2015, they were officially classified as a vulnerable species. As with many vulnerable animals, the drop in the reindeer population can mainly be attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. Thankfully, extensive efforts have already begun to help stabilize their overall population. Painted and designed with stunning lifelike realism, this miniature caribou toy figurine would fit into the sprawling and beautiful Arctic tundra. In fact, in areas like Canada, the reindeer is seen as one of the quintessential animals of the region and appears on the currency and coat-of-arms of some provinces. This reindeer figurine is 3.5in. L x 1.4in. W x 3.3in. H. This reindeer replica is made out of hard plastic and is non-toxic and BPA free. Sold as one piece per package.
