- "The Grant caribou is a large, robust subspecies found in the boreal forests of western Canada and parts of Alaska. With a thick fur coat and long legs, they are adapted for cold climates and varied terrain. Their prominent, branching antlers are most noticeable in males. Grant caribou are migratory, traveling long distances between summer and winter ranges, primarily in search of lichen. They form large herds for protection. These herds tend to follow traditional migratory routes, often traveling through vast, open landscapes. While their population is relatively stable habitat loss due to climate change and industrial activities poses ongoing threats."
- ― In-Game Description
