Question:
Where do reindeer live and sleep?

Replies:
Reindeer live in the far northern forests and tundra of Europe and Asia. People in those areas keep some reindeer as livestock, a little like cattle. In Canada and Alaska the same animals are called caribou. Most large hoofed animals sleep lying down in a sheltered place.
