could it be a moose or an elk
reindeer?
A Reindeer is also known as caribou, but in the taxonomic sense both reindeer/caribou and other types of deer are in the same family (cervidae). (within a family are subfamilies and within those are genuses/genera). However, reindeer/caribou are in a genus together. There are many different genera in the cervidaae family.

So the answer to the quiz is probably reindeer, but family (taxonomical) is an incorrect word to use.

Hope that helps!
