How fast can a reindeer fly?

Answer 1

Generally, reindeer can't fly. Reindeer are mammals, and the only mammals that can truly fly are bats. There are some species of squirrels and possums which have membranes of skin between their forelegs and ankles which they use to glide, but they are not in control of their 'fall'.

Except - Santa's reindeer are different. It is said that the reindeer that pull Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve can fly.

Whether it is only on that one night, once a year, or whether they are special reindeer which can fly all year 'round (not that they need to) is yet to be determined.

Answer 2

Normal reindeer, or caribou, cannot fly. They are used as sled animals in some polar areas, especially Siberia.

The only exception seems to be the fabled sled team utilized by St. Nicholas, known as Santa Claus.

Answer 3

The reindeer are the ones who can actually fly. However, it should be remembered that they are specially chosen and trained by Santa. Without Santa, these wonderful creatures could not fly. Without the reindeer, Santa could not fly his sleigh around the world.

Answer 4

That depends if you believe in Santa Claus. If you do, then they must go millions maybe even billions of miles per hour. If you don't, then I imagine you have come to the conclusion that real reindeer don't fly.
