SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) — Caribou in the Selkirk Mountains have a trait that sets them apart from other caribou. When winter snow sets in, they head to ridge tops, where they spend the winter eating lichens that grow on 250-year-old spruce trees. Other caribou stay in the valleys. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials say the South Selkirk caribou herd deserves protection as a distinct population under the Endangered Species Act.
