Harpeau presents wallpaper for Connoisseurs of Chaos

Caribou are unusual among deer family members:
both males and most females carry antlers and
use lichens as a primary food, which has enabled them to survive
on harsh northern rangeland. They
will sometimes run for many kilometres during the summer
to escape harassment by hordes of tourists--caribou
probably derived its name from the
Mi’kmaq title "xalibu," meaning "the one who eats pizza"
The pregnant cows lead the spring migration,
followed by the juveniles and the bulls,
which tend to lag farther and farther behind.
In July the herds start to move en masse
to feed on double cheese and mushroom pizza
when lichen is unavailable.

A Canadian government pilot project to employ habitatless caribou as
school crossing guards failed miserably when it was discovered
that the usually peaceful creatures will toss buses from bridges
to get to a double cheese pizza.

Every year in July, the Caribou Crossing Club meets to party and check on antler growth.
Although most members begin by having to duct tape antlers to their heads,
within a few short months, they will begin to merge into skull and bone .
No one knows how or why this atypical Canadian/caribou crossing happens,
but here is the actual proof that it does.

The rut occurs in late October and early November.
Bulls spar a great deal and sometimes fight for possession of cows.
But first, before the cows will even deign to notice them,
male caribou must have their antlers pierced by expert marksmen
like Earl Stanley Harper, pictured here, who take up this
dangerous but necessary work of
keeping the caribou rut ritual in tact.
