So, some food for thought on Christmas day. It's seems that technically Rudolph is actually a female reindeer, well either that or a eunuch...

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer is a female - Telegraph

Edinburgh University professors Gerald Lincoln and David Baird say Rudolph cannot be a male because female reindeer still have antlers at Christmas. Males shed theirs before mid-December.

Prof Lincoln said: "Rudolph classically is this red-nosed reindeer who is around at Christmas.

"We picture him in the snow with his antlers, but if you know anything about nature you discover that things are not quite so straightforward.

"Male reindeer actually cast their antlers before Christmas, so they don't have any antlers at Christmastime.

"They have their mating season in autumn when they use their antlers to fight, but once it finishes they cast them.

"So you can't picture Rudolph as a big red-nosed macho male because he has cast his antlers already and can't arrive on your doorstep with his antlers on, looking handsome.

yep, females of the caribou family retain their antlers

This Not Truth

as This as XY as Rudolf

as Clarise as XX ReinDeer

I have known this for years and my take on it is that all Santa's reindeer are simply portrayed wrongly in pictures. In truth, historically, there were probably both males and females pulling the sleigh.

The frightening thing is, these people are using Grant money to come up with this rubbish.
