Is rudolph the red nosed reindeer a deer or a doe?

growing up it was a deer(boy), after i got to college a professor searched it and said it was really a doe? so which is it?:Is rudolph the red nosed reindeer a deer or a doe?
All of Santa's reindeer are female since they are the only ones who keep their antlers in winter.Is rudolph the red nosed reindeer a deer or a doe?
well like someone above me said only female deer keep their antlers in the winter, but then what about Rudolph's girlfriend Clarice? I think Rudolph is just one of those things you'll never figure out the gender of lololol
Deer is the term for animal in theCervidae family. Reindeer, White tailed, etc. They usually have antlers. Male deer are called Bucks, females are does. Young are fawn.





An interesting thing about reindeer is that both males and females get antlers (most deer, only the males). Things get even better in that the females... though their antlers are generally smaller...have their antlers for longer. They get theirs in the mid to late summer, and the antlers do not fall off until late winter or early spring (Feb-ish). Males lose their antlers earlier, usually in Late November or early December. Since males usually wouldn't have antlers around Christmas, your professor claims Rudolf is a female...she has her antlers until February.





Some other fun things...Reindeer hooves flatten out, so they actually help hold the deer up on snow, like snowshoes.





Females have their antlers longer so they can chase the males away from food supplies, thus increasing the chance that their young (they are usually pregnant in the winter) will survive.





THey have hair on their noses...
well he kinda is a baby or kid reigndeer because he was born it said a few years later so i would say he is a kid boy reighndeer





i think thats how it goes lol
I never thought about that. The correct presentation is Buck, Deer represents both genders of ';Doe';, and ';Buck.';
Rudolph is a buck.
A doe is a female, deer encompasses both sex's . Do you mean a buck or a doe?


Rudolph is a he, so a buck.
interesting lol he was a buck
I got an email with this on it and I quote the author: ';REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME';


According to the Alaska Department of


Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain


their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.


Therefore, according to EVERY historical


rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.


We should've known... ONLY women would


be able to drag a fat-butt man in a red velvet suit all around the world...Ms Hill (Old Dominion Freight) Hope to clear you on this one...enjoy your Christmas everyone! Liz
