  A quick Google search shows this:

  Reindeer and caribou share the same genus, Rangifer, and species name, tarandus. Domestication is the biggest difference between reindeer and caribou. ... Both male and female reindeer and caribou grow antlers -- a trait unique in the deer family -- although female reindeer antlers grow larger than female caribou antlers.

  And this:

  Reindeer and caribou are actually the same species, Rangifer tarandus, but there are substantial differences between the two. Caribou are large, wild, elk-like animals which can be found in northern North America and Greenland and have never been domesticated. Reindeer are slightly smaller and were domesticated in northern Eurasia about 2000 years ago. There are still some wild populations of reindeer found in Eurasia but they are best known as a domesticated animal. Today, they are still herded by many Arctic peoples in Europe and Asia who depend on the reindeer for almost everything in their economy including food, clothing and shelter.

  So if you use the antler size morphs in AM's Caribou (and maybe a bit of scaling too) I think you may get away with it.

  (I think they'd spot the moose though! )
