Abstract: The article covers questions of zooklimatic monitoring with outlining of thermoneutral zones favorable to the existence of animals. The technique of determining the structure and boundaries thermoneutral zones using the reindeer heat balance model and GIS technologies. We present examples of zooklimatic distribution over deer habitat territory in northern Central Siberia

Keywords: zooklimatic distribution, thermoneutral zone, heat balance, the thermal resistance of the organism.
