Primary Consumer

A consumer is an animal that eats plants also called a herbivore. Caribou are from the deer family. They have thick and hollow hairs, which helps them keep warm. They move across the Arctic usually in large herds. They eat plants. For the winter they go into the forests, so the trees will give protection from the wind and snow. In the spring the caribou leave the forest and go to the tundra for there calves to be born.
