The Porcupine Caribou herd (PCH)—formerly R. ogilviensis, [22] now considered a herd of barren-ground caribou, R. t. groenlandicus [16] —in northwest Canada and northeast Alaska migrate 1,500 miles (2,400 km) annually from their winter range in the boreal forests of Alaska and Yukon northwest Canada over the mountains boreal forests to ...
For example, the extinct caribou Torontoceros [Rangifer] hypogaeus, had features (robust and short pedicles, smooth antler surface, and high position of second tine) that relate it to forest caribou. [40] Because woodland and barren-ground caribou likely do not share a direct common ancestor, they cannot be conspecific.

Although the reserve itself has an area of 434.19 km 2 (167.64 sq mi), the habitat used by the caribou extends to between 1,200 km 2 (460 sq mi) and 2,000 km 2 ...

Finally in 2003, in preparation for the 2004 COSEWIC reassessment of Peary Caribou, a workshop was convened with Canada's top caribou geneticists. [9] Genetic and other data showed it unequivocally to be a distinct race of barren-ground caribou, then known as Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus. [10] [11] [12] Further research confirmed this ...
