Science Proves Santa’s Reindeer Are Actually All Female
14th December 2017
As Christmas quickly approaches and our ears fill with the sounds of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” it is impossible to ignore the festive spirit surrounding the year-end.
And one Twitter user, Cat Reynolds, has given us even more reason to celebrate.
She posted that all of Santa’s reindeer – Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph – are female, an observation that immediately went viral.
According to experts, Reynolds’ tweet is likely accurate – because male reindeer shed their antlers at the end of the mating season in early December, while females sport their thinner antlers throughout the winter.
Well. There it is. Cue proglodyte calls on Santa Claus to resign in disgrace.
