Like, so big that the word “massive” fails to accurately describe how big they are. Not only are they gigantic, they are truly fascinating animals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs you might have guessed, caribou (also known as reindeer) live in some of the coldest climates on Earth. Makes sense Santa has a whole bunch of them. Anyways, one thing you’ll notice is just how thick their fur is. It’s not just thick either, it’s hollow. This helps trap heat and even makes them more buoyant when swimming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpeaking of which, despite living in some incredibly cold places, caribou aren’t afraid to go for a dip and are actually quite strong swimmers. They need to be, as during their yearly migrations they cross all sorts of rivers and lakes. Fun fact: some caribou herds make some of the longest land migrations on Earth, traveling up to 3,000 miles (5,000 km) a year. They have places to be and things to do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis mount in particular is, as mentioned above, gigantic. If you’re looking for a centerpiece for a fireplace or just to add some North Pole vibes to your space, you can’t do any better than this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Shipping Info For Oversized Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Oversized items like this do not qualify for the free shipping discount.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information about our shipping policies, please see our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/paxtongate.com\/pages\/shipping\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshipping page\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e  We will do our best to ship via conventional methods, but some mounts are just too big for carriers to handle safely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Conventional: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf we are unable to ship via \u003cspan\u003econventional\u003c\/span\u003e methods, we recommend a taxidermy-specific carrier called \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trophytransport.com\/quotes.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTrophy Transport\u003c\/a\u003e.
