Yes, both are the species Rangifer tarandus, but there are behavioral and slight morphological differences. "Caribou" refers to the wild populations native to North America, while "reindeer" often denotes domesticated or semi-domesticated animals.
Reindeer are generally shorter and stockier than caribou, and they've been selectively bred for certain characteristics beneficial to herding and domestication. Caribou, being wild, tend to have larger antlers relative to their body size and are more adapted to migratory behaviors.
Similar to their wild counterparts, reindeer primarily graze on lichens, mosses, grasses, and shrubs.
In addition to being a source of meat, reindeer have historically been used for transportation, milk, and their hides for clothing and shelter. Their antlers are also utilized for tools and crafts.
Yes, reindeer are woven into the fabric of several indigenous Alaskan cultures, and herding has been an important tradition, especially among the Sámi people of northern Europe.
