According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male
and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year (the only
members of the deer family, Cervidae, to have females do so), 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 girl.
We should've known that because... they were able to find their way!
