Biography[]
Alpha and Omega[]
The caribou first make an appearance when Kate and a couple other Western Pack members are attempting to hunt them. The hunt was cut short by two Eastern Pack wolves, who failed to catch the caribou when a stampede of them came at the wolves. The caribou shake their tails at the wolves before leaving. Later on, during a meeting with Tony, Winston learns that the caribou from the east have left and the Eastern Pack, out of desperation, has been hunting in the Western Pack's territory. The caribou make another appearance at the end of the movie, when the noise of the two packs fighting end up causing a stampede. Tony and Winston are unfortunately trapped by the caribou and can't escape. Kate and Humphrey manage to rescue them, but the mission ends up getting Kate kicked by a caribou. While Humphrey shields Kate from the caribou, Tony and Winston lash out at the herbivores, causing them to panic and go around Kate and Humphrey. The herd gets scared when Winston and Tony bark at them and the herd of Caribou flee.
