Caribou (Reindeer) - Alaska Postage

A 10-Nugget postage stamp issued by a imaginary independant nation of Alaska. It features a bull Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) superimposed on a Caribou pelt. Text reading, "Alaska," "POSTAGE 10 NUGGETS," "Caribou," and "Rangifer tarandus" also appears. Add your own additional text. The Caribou, known as the reindeer outside of North America, is a deer of the Arctic and Subarctic. While overall widespread and numerous, some subspecies are rare and one has gone extinct. The Inuit word tuktu means - deer that never stops moving. Caribou are always on the move, going north to calve, heading for the winter grounds, and south in the summer.
