if all reindeer have antlers and only the?

Question

males shed their antlers in the winter ; does that mean Santa's reindeer are female....because i do not recall any of them pulling a sleigh without antlers.???????

Answer 1

Survey says... The original eight reindeer are arranged as follows on Santa's sleigh, assuming that the reindeer are named in the poem from front to back, with the reindeer on the left being male, and the reindeer on the right being female. It's a magical explanation indeed...

Dasher Dancer
Prancer Vixen
Comet Cupid
Donner Blitzen

Descriptions:
Dasher - The first reindeer and the right-hand leader of the sleigh before Rudolph was included. He is the speediest reindeer.
Dancer - The second reindeer and the left leader before Rudolph was included. She is the graceful reindeer.
Prancer - The third reindeer and on the right in the second row. He is the most powerful reindeer.
Vixen - The fourth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the second row. She is beautiful, and also powerful like her companion Prancer.
Comet - The fifth reindeer and on the right-hand side in the third row. He brings wonder and happiness to children when Santa flies over everyone's houses.
Cupid - The sixth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the third row. She brings love and joy to children when Santa flies over everyone's houses.
Donner - The seventh reindeer and on the right-hand side in the fourth row.
Blitzen - The eighth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the fourth row. She is the "lightning" reindeer, but in American pop culture Blixem/Blitzen is frequently portrayed as a male.

Answer 2

Ok, if you watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...Rudolphs dad is one of the reindeer. Rudolph flies for the first time because Clarice, a girl reindeer (who isnt one of Santa's) says he is cute. So I am assuming they are male

Answer 3

No...Santa's reindeer are magic....
Think about it...Rudolph's been around for how many years??
They don't age.
Some are female though....just run down the names...
Would you name a male reindeer Vixen or Cupid?

Answer 4

magic!
