Male and Female 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 til 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 girl. We should have 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! no hard feelings guys just the way it is.

Seems I heard this several years ago. So Rudolph is really Renee? Women unite, we should feel important. An interesting post.

Hi Lifez2short! Oh i didn't know about that. I guess their names should be changed to straighten things about Rudolph and the rest of the gang. I find that statement of the reindeers dragging a fat man in red velvet suit very funny. hehe.. Only women can have the patience and self-sacrificing attitude, huh? LOL! Anyway that is good information. Take care and have a nice day.

Now, that's priceless!! I should have known that all along. Sorry guys...shouldn't we change some of those poor girls' names? Dancer wouldn't be bad but I sure wouldn't want to go through life with the name "Rudolph"! Annie

I've heard about this already on a documentary I think... Lol, I'd say that there is a second possibility though, they could be transvestite Reindeer ;) just a possibility, I'm just kidding, no offense to anyone. I like your logic on why only women could do all that work hehehe
