Santa’s reindeer are female??!!

I just read that male reindeer lose their antlers by December, therefore all of Santa’s reindeer—including Rudolph—must be female???

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year (the only members of the deer family, Cervidae, to have females do so), male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Well, we have all seen the photo’s showing good ole Santa with his sleigh full of toys being pulled around by nine antlered reindeer (that, of course, includes Rudolph). Now we know the truth…Santa’s sleigh is pulled by “girls”!

Well, duh,  of course they must be females…they travel all over the world on Christmas eve. I ask you, have you heard of Santa getting lost? It is a well known fact that males will not ask for directions so as the old saying goes—the proof is in the pudding!

Merry Christmas To All…And To All A Goodnight!
