Male Caribou Walking Wildlife Clear Glass Sculpture
From the Deer Arctic Wildlife Clear Collection
Caribou hooves are actually quite fascinating. In order to survive the environments, they undergo incredible adaptations. Caribou have very large feet, with four toes, two of which are known as dew claws. The remaining two toes are quite strong and actually help support the Caribou’s weight. In the winter, the hoof pads of the Caribou will shrink. It will expose the rims of the hoof, which help them walk over ice and snow. Long hair will grow between the toes to protect the pads and they will only walk on the hoof rims. Once summertime hits, these footpads will then start to become more sponge-like and soft. It will allow them to cross over different terrains.
