The Caribou is a large herbivorous animal that provides meat, plainleather and, if tamed, milk.
Taming
Caribou can be tamed wild from boreal forests, cold bogs, or tundra, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship.
Summary
Caribou are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.
A caribou can be milked for up to 
10 units of milk every 2 days (depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield).
Analysis
Caribou are animals to be hunted in colder biomes, and serve little other purpose. They are one of the few animals to come in herds and that have a manhunter chance, meaning the entire herd can revenge on a bad shot.
As tamed animals, caribou are almost entirely inferior to yaks, as 2 caribou produce less milk and eat more than 1 yak. Yaks are also pack animals while caribou aren't.
Milking
Female caribou produce 5 per day, or 0.25 nutrition in milk per day. A caribou consumes 0.44 nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of 56.8% from milk alone (or 11.36 per day per 1 nutrition consumed).
Yaks produce 120% more milk than caribou on average, but eat only 95% more food.
Training
This animal can be trained as follows:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
