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 girl.
We
should've known. Only women, while pregnant, would be able
to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world
in one night and not get lost.
