Author: Allen, J. A. and Robert E. Peary Title: The Peary Caribou (Rangifer Pearyi Allen) Year: 1908 Publisher: New York: Published by order of the Trustees, American Museum of Natural History. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History; v. 24, article 22. Pages: 17 Source: American Museum of Natural History Description: "According to the experience of most travellers on the Arctic mainland, the so-called Barren Ground Caribou is a migratory animal, leaving the coast at the approach of winter and moving southward in great herds, to return northward again in the spring. This, however, does not appear to be the habit of the Grant Land Caribou, according to Commander Peary's notes on them ... 'These beautiful animals, in their winter dress almost as white as the snow which they traverse, were found later scattered over the entire region from Cape Hecla to Lake Hazen, and westward along the north Grant Land coast, over fifty specimens in all being secured'" (1908:490).
