Yes, both are the species Rangifer tarandus, but there are behavioral and slight morphological differences. "Caribou" refers to the wild populations native to North America, while "reindeer" often denotes domesticated or semi-domesticated animals.

Similar to their wild counterparts, reindeer primarily graze on lichens, mosses, grasses, and shrubs.

Yes, reindeer are woven into the fabric of several indigenous Alaskan cultures, and herding has been an important tradition, especially among the Sámi people of northern Europe.
