摘要：

In the Red Wine Mountains Region, Labrador, tolerance of Rangifer tarandus to snowcover depth and hardness exceeded all previously reported thresholds. Caribou wintered in areas with mean snow depths of 176.7 cm and, to reach forage, they dug through snow with mean depths of ≤123.1 cm. Caribou can visually distinguish among snow covered terrain features to locate forage on the ground. -from Authors
