After being out in the wilds for a while I started talking to the animals (a little scary, yes, but they didn't seem to mind the conversation) and while photographing this caribou I was referring to him as "Scooby". I didn't even realize I had given him a name at first, but the name does seem to fit. He wasn't the brightest of animals, and always seemed to be losing track of his fellow caribou, looking around every twenty minutes or so with a puzzled expression, trying to figure out where they had gone off to.
