For you Mama Bear...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year ( they're the only members of the deer family, Cervidae, in which females have antlers). However, 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 Rudolf to Blitzen........had to be a female.

We should've known this when when they were able to find their way.
