edit About Deer
In North America, Caribou is another name for Reindeer. The Caribou is a type of deer that is found in parts of North America, Mexico, North Africa and Eurasia. The Caribou is a vital source of food for the Inuit and natives of Alaska. They can be wild or farm-raised.
The meat derived from this animal is called venison and is thought to be healthier than beef because it is lower in calories and saturated fat per serving when compared to beef. It also high in protein, iron, vitamins B12, B6, B2 and B3, and phosphorus.
The meat is suple and tender, with a woody, berry-like flavor. It can be eaten in the form of roasts, sausages, ground and in steaks. Caution should be taken when consuming this meat, however, as it is thought to be the cause of Chronic Wasting Disease in humans which is similar to Mad Cow Disease.
