Mature caribou bulls may be the most handsome of deer. Their snow-white manes and towering antlers cut a striking figure in the barren tundra. But there's a purpose behind those gorgeous manes and racks. Because of the wide open nature of the tundra, caribou are the most visually oriented of the deer species, and a bull's stature is often determined by how large and dominant he appears to other bulls. Most of the time, the largest bulls are able to intimidate their rivals. But occasionally, evenly matched bulls will confront each other and a brief but furious shoving match determines dominance.
