Are Santa's reindeer male or female?

"Santa’s reindeer have been depicted as males throughout the media but science proves that these depictions are in fact wrong. Experts have stated that his reindeer are female as male reindeer lose their antlers in early December when mating season has ended, whilst female reindeer keep theirs throughout winter. As Santa’s reindeer’s are depicted with antlers, this can only lead to the conclusion that it is females that power the sleigh through the sky during the night of Christmas Eve each year."

There are of course few other anatomical differences that are not seasonal. Just those are not as obvious at distances or if the individual has long hair or fur.

Yes, Girl Power. Lionesses do most of the hunting with their prides.

Another proof that they are female is that they actually manage to get to all those houses to deliver the presents. Had they been male, NO presents would be delivered. The male reindeer would just get hopelessly lost and refuse to stop to ask for directions!
