Caribou, Animals of the Tundra - stamp block mint, St. Vincent

This block of stamps from St. Vincent was issued on the theme of "Animals of the Tundra" and shows a caribou on the $ 10 stamp included. The representation goes over to the edge of the block.
Anyone who simply calls caribou "reindeer" does not do justice to the large animals: Caribou are North American herd animals, a wild form of the reindeer. In summer it lives in the tundras and in winter in the taiga of Northern Europe and North America
