These photos were taken with slide film in the mid-nineties when there were around 6 000 caribou in the herd (now numbering around 300 animals).

Caribou
A baby caribou feeds on the barrens near St. Shott's on the Southern Avalon Peninsula while I photograph it. This baby was alone and came within 10 feet of me. It was "crying" and I assumed it had wandered away from its mother, but there were no adults in sight. After a few minutes, it wandered off, leaving me with photos and memories, both of which I am able to share with you today.

Are caribou calves always white or pale colored when this young? I ask b/c Native Americans on the continent believe that white buffalo calves signify luck/blessings or other "good stuff" from the Great Spirit or whatever term the reader prefers. Judie
All the ones I've seen are similar to the one in the photos.
While white caribou calves are common, I certainly was blessed to have seen and photographed one this close.
