Best Answer

Reindeer is both the singular and plural.

This is because of the English language's Germanic origin. Germanic languages have neuter nouns where the singular and plural are exactly the same.

To give a Germanic to English example::

  • ett hjort = one deer
  • tre hjort = three deer

The modern English language has retained some of its Germanic features like this, especially when it comes to animals (sheep, fish, deer, etc).
