This poor fellow was out in the rain while we were dry and fairly comfortable photographing it from our Land Rover. We were even fortunate enough to be able to park on a side-slope that kept the rain from entering through the open window. After a time, the small group of caribou simply ignored our presence and we were able to make many pictures including this one.
