Here's the skinny on reindeer:
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male
and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, 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.
Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's
reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen - had to
be a female.
We should've known....... Only women would be able to drag a fat man
in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get
lost.
