I thought everyone knew reindeer exist lol

All I could focus on were how cute they were-

Some people only hear about Reindeer as in Santa's flying reindeer, so it makes sense they'd be confused

When I was 7, I had the pleasure of going to a reindeer farm. Very cool experience.

People in USA have no clue about caribou from personal experience. But as a Canadian I knew about caribou and reindeer

The reindeer was the only reason I believed in Santa at first, because they were real. Like I saw pictures of them and they couldn't fly but my family just excused it because only reindeers domesticated by Santa know how to fly.

My friend saw a pic of a reindeer and asked me if they were actually real cause she always thought they were just made up like unicorns I was shocked when I realized that some people think they are not real 😂

Yeah, we call them reindeer, too. I don't know which America you're in, but in Massachusetts and Maryland, they are reindeer. They also (the males) drop their antlers in winter. Edit: Did not mean to sound so snarky. I really meant that most Americans don't know about caribou in the first place. That might not sound better... 👀

Very cute Misses Klaus 😉😍🤗😁

Once i saw a baby reindeer and it was so cute

In the United States, most of us call them Reindeer; however, in Canada (which is technically North America) they are commonly called Caribou.

it is so adorable omggg

As a north American, can confirm that I’ve always said reindeer.

I've always loved caribou, and seeing domesticated reindeer always warms me up. I've only met a reindeer once, though it's probably because you don't see many in the US!

They are kinda cute and cool

In Greenland we call them tuttu and we eat them (Nothing gets waisted we will use every part of the body)

Fun fact! Both male and female have antlers! Male drop them in the winter and therefore Santa's reindeer are all female if they have antlers in the winter!

They are so adorable. The close up of Miss Thing was cute 😍

hi here I live in Canada and we call them Caribou and reindeer but normal deer most of us with gardens that live in cottage country will call them the pesky bugers that keep eating my plant

Omg they r soooooo cute

As someone who lives in the woods and was taught about different animals all over the world all their life it's extremely shocking when some people don't know what animals I'm talking about.

There's a place up north in Scotland where you can visit the reindeer. Such a great experience!

I remember learning that reindeer exist by finding out what my last name means.

I knew this! I love reindeer! They’re such fascinating animals…

I live in ireland and there is a park where you can go to see wild reindeer and around christmas they have a big festival in the park and you can go whenever you like and feed them. They are super friendly🤗

When I was a kid my mom told me santa wasn't real but the reindeer were. So I still imagined wild flying reindeer in the sky every Christmas. Imagine my disappointment when I found out they actually couldn't fly. Lol

A crazy number of people think bats and reindeer are fictional because fictional stories are told about them. You can tell any stories you want that doesn't make the original animal fake.

The only reindeer I’d heard of was Rudolph😭

Man when I see any antlered animal coming out of felt all I can think of is how painful it looks. They're cute as buttons though.

Rudolph, the rednosed Caribou…

THEY LOOK SO CUTEE!!!

As a North American I ain't never heard the words Caribou before, only reindeer

They are soooo cute I wish I had one

Ive always known about reindeer because of video games, but i always thought they were called "Rain Deer" instead of Reindeer lol

Rudolf the red nosed caribou doesn't quite have the same ring to it tbh

In Canada we call them reindeer and caribou

Reindeer are just the domesticated version of caribou

How many animals do you have all togther

The fact that he even owns that sent

In the netherlands we call them ✨rendier✨

I lived in the arctic for 30 years We watched herds migrate. Sometimes they separate from the main herd and come into town.

Little me would have thought you where magical for having reindeer 😊

Very real and very cute.

Oh my goodness that’s hilarious 😂

AWWWW SP CUUUUTREEEE

Soooooo cute!

This reminds me of when I worked at the Zoo. Our receptionist got some weird questions. What animal does naugahide come from?

Some people don't know they exist-? Their so cute! I went to see some when I was 6 or 7

So cute😍😍😍

Wow👑👑

THAT IS SO COOL

When I was growing up, my neighbors had reindeer. They were very friendly. They had one named Rudolph, but unfortunately he didn't have a red nose. 😉

people didnt know they were real?? as a canadian, ive always known i thought it was just common sense..,

They're real, they just aren't the flying variety.

In Scotland we call them stags

✨ADORABLE ✨

This girl is Mrs Clause fr

Rudeoff the red nose raindeer lol

I used to ride horses bet these domestic ones love carrots😂

I want to pet it so badly

those antlers are gorgeous...

Even my own sibling thought reindeer didn't exist at one point but now they know

I met someone before who thought reindeer were fake and I'm like bro... It's domesticated caribou....

Im thinking of them in babys and in albino and how cute they sre

In America we call them reindeer if they are domesticated we call them caribou if they are wild.

In south africa we call them BBQ

There is a caribou on the Canadian quarter. A lot of people think it's a moose.

The most magical place to see them is North Pole Alaska. Though they have them caged as if they are tigers. I have been to petting zoos where they have a reindeer. She was begging for everyone to pet and talk to her. The worker said she does the same thing at her home.

They are so cute!!!!!!!!! So they are like your pets? 😊

Reindeer are SMALL caribou. The caribou in Canads are HUGE.

And cute!!!

i thought caribou and reindeer were two different animals just related😭

They're cute until they start shedding their antler Velvet...

Well Im from Finland and I have seen raindeers in the wild and it was amazing❤

I once felt reindeer fur at a renaissance fair not the reindeer but the hair it wasn’t killed for that tho so don’t worry I did see some fox body’s and stuff tho 😓

I want one

It's worrying that people don't know basic things that I learned in school in the 60s and 70s like in the 5th and 6th grade. Public school is in the toilet. But thanks for pointing the reindeer/ caribou thing out because it will teach people that don't know.

Am I the only one who's saddened to think that these people who thought that reindeers were imaginary are potentially voters?

Haha I live in North America and my family calls them reindeer

I didn't know they were different terms (reindeer = domesticated, caribou = wild).. to me this is the least crazy 'is that a real animal??'. I knew someone who wouldn't believe me when I said narwhals were real for a hot minute.

To the person that made that comment.. Reindeers do exist It’s just that Raindeers do not exist. So therefore, reindeers do exist, but raindeers don’t exist

I’m from north America and I’ve called them reindeer all my life

Is that a moose at the end or a reindeer? That thing is huge

In my state they are known as caribou/reindeer😅

Wait what i only knew deer existed..

So i do have a question. Do both males and females grow antlers? And how can you tell them apart?

In northeast America like New England mostly we call them reindeer

I learned that reindeer were a real animal when I was a teenager and my dad took a trip to Canada and brought me home some pictures of them. Such an amazing animal! But I didn’t know that about the reason some are called Reindeer and others Caribou! That’s so interesting! I always just assumed they were actually called caribou, and that the term “reindeer” was just dawned upon them as the fliers of Santa’s sleigh and all that…but I didn’t know that domesticated caribou are actually called “reindeer”. What a fascinating little tidbit of information! Thank you for sharing! ❤

I'm north American and I say raindeer-

I’m American and honestly we call them both. If my family and I are watching Christmas movies we call them reindeer but if it’s like we’re going to an event and they have reindeer we call them caribou. Idk if anyone else does this tho. It might just be because I grew up in a hunting family

I live in North America, and I say reindeer

I could only focus on the hair on his antlers falling off

I need one they are cute I call them reindeer but I live in the USA

y’all focused on how they look and all while i’m wondering *how is she able to have the raindeer?*

I’m in north am but I still call them raindear

Yes reindeer are real

Are they pretty much just like cows when you domesticate them? What do you use them for?

Hi, european here, i learnt something too, that being that people didnt know they exist😳

There is a farm near us with reindeer --- Pa. Near Lake Erie

Hmmn, I wasn’t aware about the distinction. Ty
