Anatomy of a Caribou

The diagram surrounds a caribou illustration with short anatomical and adaptation notes. Readable labels describe antler structure, changes between summer and winter coat appearance, and wide feet associated with movement and foraging conditions. The page is intended as a compact visual reference rather than a question sheet or cut-and-paste activity. Because portions of the rotated text are indistinct, claims are limited to the clearly recoverable feature groups.
