What if we told you the most famous reindeer of all, along with the others, is perhaps a female? “Santa promotes gender diversity and realizes that the girls are strong, too.”
Reindeer grazing in Norway were not bothered by the northern lights shining above them.You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall that these reindeer, and the most famous reindeer of all, Rudolph, might actually be females?
Since then, the reindeer, especially Rudolph, have become some of the most iconic symbols of Christmas. But in the hit 1949 song by Gene Autry about the red-nosed reindeer, Rudolph is referred to as male when the famously bright reindeer may actually be female. Reindeer typically shed their antlers in the later parts of the year. Males usually do so around the late fall,. However, females shed their antlers in the winter, unless if they are pregnant, and then their antlers typically stay on until the calves are born in the spring.
