The woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an elusive member of the deer family that occasionally dips down from Canada and is seen in northwest Montana. The woodland caribou has a fascinating life style that involves deep dark forests and subsisting on tree lichens. FVCC student Taylor Rose joins us and describes his efforts over the last two years to develop his great idea into a graduate project at the University of Idaho, working on caribou habitat and status.
