Why do reindeer consume lot of moss?
Reindeer consume a significant amount of moss, particularly lichen, because it serves as a vital food source during the harsh Arctic winters when other vegetation is scarce. Moss is rich in carbohydrates and provides essential nutrients, enabling reindeer to sustain their energy levels in a challenging environment. Additionally, moss is relatively easy for reindeer to access and digest, making it a practical choice for their diet during seasonal food shortages.
Out of all santas reindeers which ones are girls?
According to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, while male & female reindeer grow antlers in summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers in winter -usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers til after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, as ALL of Santa's reindeer are depicted as having antlers, every single one of them HAD to be a female! -We should have known this when they were able to always find their way!
